I Selected Editable Grid Screen in Light switch,
In this grid I have 4 fields Name, Description, createdbyuser,ModifiedByuser

createdbyuser needs to be set as current username. In a datagrid how do I assign value to that cell.
ModifiedByuser is need to be set only when modifying or editing the record.

I have set authentication on and I can get current user name by application.user.name
but how do I assign them to the cell in the grid.

your help is most appreciated.

Thank you,

Kindly mention the framework version used to give a clear answer for it.

To get a data from a cell from a datagrid

if it's the first row then

ctype(dgrd.Items(0).cells(0).Controls(0),DataboundLiteralControl).Text

In the immediate window while debugging check the no. of controls available in the particular cell. If you are using a label inside a Template column, then you can directly typecast to Label and you can use.

For more details about this kindly mention the framework details and the asp.net coding for datagrid alone.
