GridView with DataTable as data source and RowDataBound

I'm using a GridView with its DataSource property set to a DataTable.
During the RowDataBound event, the first row of the DataTable is
reported as a DataControlRowType.Header instead of
DataControlRowType.DataRow. How do I change this behavior?

Right now, I ignore the RowType and just assume all rows are actually
data rows (which in fact they are). However, this bugs me, so I'm
wondering if any one knows how to "properly" work around this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Click to expand...

If it is *Row*DataBound event of *GridView*, then it should report
first row of GridView and not DataTable, which is in fact usually
Header (unless turned off or empty data), and can be many other types
too, like footer,pager, empty row etc.

You may want to place your data row specific code in a conditional
block like following

if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
...
}

Yes, that's what I would expect, but when in the RowDataBound
callback, the row with type Header is actually the first row of the
DataTable, not the header row of the GridView.

If I turn off the header in the GridView's properties, I still get the
first row of the DataTable reported as a header row in RowDataBound.

Thanks for the response.
