datagrid: can't get read text from a cell programmatically

[David]

In the event handler for ItemCommand, I am trying to read text of cells in
the row programmaticall y, but can't get it working.

//this is what I have in InitializeCompo nent
this.dgList.Ite mCommand += new
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridCommandEven tHandler(this.d gList_Command);

//this is the event handler.
private void dgList_Command( object sender, DataGridCommand EventArgs e)
{
if(e.CommandNam e == "View")
{
Response.Write( e.Item.Cells.Co unt);
Response.Write( e.Item.Cells[0].Text);
}
}

When the button is command button is pressed, I am trying to read the text
in the first cell (e.Item.Cells[0].text), but nothing is showing up. I do
see that it recognizes eItem.Cells.Cou nt and shows the number of cells as
expected. But I do I read the contents of the cell in that row?

PS: I don't have Visual Studio 03 installed. Could this be a bug?

Here is a follow up comment.

I can set the text, and read what I set, but still can't read what is
initially there. What is going on here?????


//this line shows nothing. Why? The text is there.
Response.Write( e.Item.Cells[0].Text);

//this line will set the text of the first cell to "Good"
e.Item.Cells[0].Text="Good";

//And this line outputs "Good"
Response.Write( e.Item.Cells[0].Text);
