    <p>Pulling my hair out, some help would be great.</p> <p>I'm loading a GridView in ASP dynamically populating the results from an SQL Statement. This page is for general queries so header names are pulled from the query results, no template.</p> <p>What I'm trying to do is when a header is called i.e.. SSN (sensitive data column) I want to go through each cell in this specific column and mask the field. Example: "###-##-####". before the page is displayed, and so all changes are kept on each page change and when the GridView is re-binded.</p> <p>I looked over a couple events like GridView1_RowCreated, GridView1_OnDataBound</p> <p>However, whenever I search for the header.text it's always empty! I can change it and set it, but it's never populated in these events. This leads me to believe I’m looking in the wrong place to do this update.</p> <p>ie:</p> <pre><code>Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs) Dim header As String ' DataControlRowType.DataRow - also tried this with checking HeaderText too. If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Header Then For columnIndex As Integer = 0 To e.Row.Cells.Count - 1 Step 1 header = e.Row.Cells(columnIndex).Text Response.Write(header) ' Empty Response.Write("Cell") ' Will Display this for each header cell. header = String.Empty Next End If End Sub </code></pre> <p>Would I need to do this on the Page_Load or PreRender? Any ideas/examples would be great.<br> Thanks for your help.</p>

    2. COit's seems that with AutoGeneratedColumns = True on the GridView, that the Header cells are still not populated with Cell or HeaderText in PreRender or OnPreRender. I'm really at a loss now.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
