Get the cell value of a GridView row

Question

I am using the GridView - AutoGenerateSelectButton = \"True\" to select the row in order to get the Column 1 cell value.

I have tried:

Answer 1

Try changing your code to

// Get the currently selected row using the SelectedRow property.
GridViewRow row = dgCustomer.SelectedRow;

// And you respective cell's value
TextBox1.Text = row.Cells[1].Text

UPDATE: (based on my comment) If all what you are trying to get is the primary key value for the selected row then an alternate approach is to set

datakeynames="yourprimarykey"

for the gridview definition which can be accessed from the code behind like below.

TextBox1.Text = CustomersGridView.SelectedValue.ToString();
