Answer 1

Hey,

Template columns render their own content. You would have to get each control and compare the two controls within the template, by using FindControl as you do and comparing the underlying value. Cell.Text is only useful for bound controls.

     if (((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblProblemName")).Text == "Heart problem") 
     { 
          DropDownList ddlAssignDoc  
              = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddlAssignDoc"); 
          ddlAssignDoc.DataSource = Cardio; 
          ddlAssignDoc.DataBind(); 

      }
