DataGrid displaying hidden EditCommandColumn Values on PostBack

Hi

I am filling a datagrid with values. One of the columns is a EditCommand
Column and an other column is an 'Y/N' Bound column. If the value is 'Y' than
the Edit Command link is displayed if the values is 'N' than the EditCommand
link is not displayed and the value is disabled. I am doing the text setting
and disabling on the ItemDataBound Event of the DataGrid. This datagrid is in
one of the panels(trying to do a tabbed form) which is a usercontrol. When I
click on an other tab and hide this panel and than display it again(on click
of the particular image button) the hidden values are displayed and are
Enabled. The EnableViewState is Enabled.

Please help..I am on a deadline.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds to me like you need to rebind the datagrid on postback.

Thanks I figured it out. I was just doing e.Item.Cells[0].Text for the
editColumn hence the viewState was not saving the values. I had to typecast
it to (LinkButton)(e.Item.Cells[0].Controls[0]).Text and now it is saved.
