.Net 2.0 GridView Bug?

Question

I have a web application one of the forms has a GridView on it. .Net 2.0. Most of the columns are template and I have textbox controls in the ItemTemplate . Normally the Id and name of the control resolves to something like the following. ctl00$contentHolder$dgData$ctl02$dfCustomerSearchWord All well and good as I expect. If I add the following code to the RowCreated event. if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType .DataRow) { TextBox dfDgCustomerSearchWord = ( TextBox )e.Row.FindControl( dfCustomerSearchWord ); string sCustomerSearchWord = dfDgCustomerSearchWord.UniqueID; } The control and name attributes resolve to this. dfCustomerSearchWord What the hell is that all about I havnt even tried to assign anything to the UniqueId only accessed it. Is this a bug? If not can anybody explain what esoteric reasoning might elicit this sort of behaviour in the GridView?

Obviously you are more experienced with cursing and it's affects than I am. I can't really help you with your question. My guess based on past experiences is that there is something you are overlooking. If you are able to provide a small sample (either code and/or procedures) that recreates the problem then it is likely someone here will figure it out.

An interesting question historically experiments in cursing at inanimate objects has not resulted in any adverse reactions I assure you my experimentation has been extensive. Perhaps its a cumulative thing.

I think computers do things like that when you curse at them. Is that a possibility?
