Changing properties of a control within an emptydatatemplate

[ranger979]

I am using the emptydatatempla te for a gridview control. I have a detailsview control within the emptydatatempla te. In the detailsview I have another templatefield that contains an imagebutton control and a textbox control.

            <EmptyDataTemplate>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
                <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                <asp:DetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateRows="False" DataKeyNames="ActivityTypeControl_ID"
                    DataSourceID="spListActivityTypeControlByType" DefaultMode="Insert" Height="50px"
                    Width="125px" BackColor="#090AAAA" OnPageIndexChanging="DetailsView1_PageIndexChanging1" BorderStyle="None" GridLines="None" OnItemCommand="DetailsView1_ItemCommand">
                    <Fields>
                       <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Begin Date" SortExpression="BeginDate">
                            <InsertItemTemplate>
                                &nbsp;<asp:TextBox ID="txtIBeginDate" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("BeginDate") %>' Width="90px"></asp:TextBox>
                                <asp:ImageButton ID="imgbutICalendar1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/APPTL.ICO" Height="16px" 
                                Width="16px" OnClick="imgbutCalendar_Click" />
                            </InsertItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateField>
                 </asp:DetailsView>
            </EmptyDataTemplate>

When the user clicks on the imagebutton I look at the text in the textbox and display a calendar control.

    Protected Sub imgbutCalendar_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs)
        Const cPROCEDURE = "imgbutCalendar_Click"
        Try
            Session("GrandParentControl") = DirectCast(sender, Control).Parent.Parent
            ClickedControl = DirectCast(sender, Control)
            ParentControl = DirectCast(sender, Control).Parent
            GrandParentControl = DirectCast(sender, Control).Parent.Parent
            Session("imgbutCalendarClicked") = DirectCast(sender, ImageButton)
            Select Case Session("imgbutCalendarClicked").ID.ToString
                Case "imgbutCalendar1", "imgbutICalendar1"
                    If Session("imgbutCalendarClicked").ID.ToString = "imgbutCalendar1" Then
                        Session("strDateTextBox") = "txtBeginDate"
                    Else
                        Session("strDateTextBox") = "txtIBeginDate"
                    End If
                Case "imgbutCalendar2", "imgbutICalendar2"
                    If Session("imgbutCalendarClicked").ID.ToString = "imgbutCalendar2" Then
                        Session("strDateTextBox") = "txtEndDate"
                    Else
                        Session("strDateTextBox") = "txtIEndDate"
                    End If
            End Select
            ShowCalendar()

        Catch ex As Exception
            clsUtilities.ErrorHandler(cMODULE, cPROCEDURE, ex)
            If Not ex.Message = "Thread was being aborted." Then
                Response.Redirect("ErrorPage.aspx", True)
            End If
        End Try
    End Sub
