Hi all,
I need to hide my edit button if one of the date column in gridview is less than the current date .However it is hiding the edit button in all columns .Any help will be really appreciated .Thanks in advance .

What I have tried:

 if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
            {
DateTime myDate = (DateTime)DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "appoinmentDate");
                string apintdate=DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "appoinmentDate").ToString();
                if (DateTime.Now <= myDate)
                {
                    Button btnEdit = (Button)e.Row.FindControl("ibut_Edit");
                    btnEdit.Visible = false;
                }
}

Are all the buttons in the row called 'ibut_Edit'?

No...they all are in the same column

"... if one of the date column in gridview is less than the current date ..."
"if (DateTime.Now <= myDate) { ... }"

So which is it? Your question says you want to hide the button if the date column is less than the current date. But your code is hiding the button if the date column is greater than or equal to the current date.

Sorry that was my mistake...actually date column should be less than the current date.Even if I changed to less than, still it is not working .It is hiding all the buttons in all rows.

Have you tried setting a break point into your code and check if all dates you compared is really less than the current date?

Hi there,

Take a look at this link; I have come to trust the CompareTo method.

Moreover, consider removing/deleting undesired buttons instead of just making them invisible.

By the way, the line:

string apintdate=DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "appoinmentDate").ToString();

does not seem to play a part in that code. If it is used afterwards, then ignore this note.

Cheers!
