I am somewhat new to ASP.NET and I am confused by the syntax so I am a little lost. I am trying to hide/disable a button based on an if statement but I dont know how to disable or hide it. I have done C# before but this code looks unfamiliar to me.
Below is some of the code:
C# component:
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
string PostCtrl = Request.Params["__EVENTTARGET"];
if (PostCtrl == "AccColLocation_content$collisionLocation$EditColLocation")
{
valDropDownlist(((CustomControl.DropDownValidator)collisionLocation.FindControl("valLoc_municipality")), "CollisionLocation.municipality");
..............
}
}
HTML:
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="EditColLocation" runat="server" Text="Edit Collision Location" OnClick="CollisionLocation_Edit" />
</ItemTemplate>
valDropDownList Method:
protected void valDropDownlist(CustomControl.DropDownValidator valDropdown, string DataElement)
{
try
{
bool mvarRequired, srRequired;
DataTable dtDataElement = DBFunctions.DBFunctions.getDataElement(RepDateTime, DataElement);
string s = dtDataElement.Rows[0]["mvarRequired"].ToString();
mvarRequired = (dtDataElement.Rows[0]["mvarRequired"].ToString() == "True") ? true : false;
srRequired = (dtDataElement.Rows[0]["srRequired"].ToString() == "True") ? true : false;
valDropdown.HaveToSelect = (SelfReported) ? srRequired : mvarRequired;
}
catch (Exception err)
{
MessageBox("An error occurred while setting drop down validation rules. " + err.ToString());
}
}
All these buttons are in grid view.
I have something of this nature:
protected void deletedr(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
GridView gv = (GridView)FindControl("DriverInfo");
gv.DataSource = DBFunctions.DBFunctions.getInfo(ReportID.Value, "", 2); ;
gv.DataBind();
bool isSelectedLast = false;
DataTable dt = DBFunctions.DBFunctions.getInfo(ReportID.Value, "", 2);
if (dlDriverNo.SelectedValue == dt.Rows[dt.Rows.Count - 1]["DriverNo"].ToString())
{
isSelectedLast = true;
}
if (!(DBFunctions.DBFunctions.deleteDriver(ReportID.Value, dlDriverNo.SelectedValue, isSelectedLast)))
{
MessageBox(null);
}
else
{
dlDriverNo.Visible = false;
lblDelDriver.Visible = false;
delDriverconfim.Visible = false;
cancelDel.Visible = false;
dlDriverNo.Items.Clear();
gv.DataSource = DBFunctions.DBFunctions.getInfo(ReportID.Value, "", 2);
gv.DataBind();
}
}
catch (Exception err)
{
MessageBox("An error occurred while deleting the driver. " + err.ToString());
}
}

If your LinkButton is in a GridView, the most interesting problem is getting a handle on it. After you have a handle you can just set it to invisible or disabled:
linkButton.Visible = false;
or
linkButton.Enabled = false;
But to get a handle to the LinkButton control you will need to use .FindControl
in a suitable event on the GridView control:
<asp:GridView ID="myGridView" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="myGridView_RowDataBound">
...
</aspGridView>
Then in the code behind you would have:
protected void myGridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
var linkButton = (LinkButton)e.Row.FindControl("EditColLocation");
if (linkButton != null)
{
if (*your condition to check*)
linkButton.Visible = false;
}
}
Hope this will get you moving in the right direction.

you can try
valDropdown.Visible = false; //Mask the control
