Answer 1

I had the same problem as yours. I found that when i use the BoundField tag in GridView to show my data. The row.Cells[1].Text is working in:

GridViewRow row = dgCustomer.SelectedRow;
TextBox1.Text = "Cell Value" + row.Cells[1].Text + "";

But when i use TemplateField tag to show data like this:

The row.Cells[1].Text just return null. I got stuck in this problem for a long time. I figur out recently and i want to share with someone who have the same problem my solution. Please feel free to edit this post and/or correct me.

My Solution:

Label lbCod = GridView1.Rows["AnyValidIndex"].Cells["AnyValidIndex"].Controls["AnyValidIndex"] as Label;

I use Controls attribute to find the Label control which i use to show data, and you can find yours. When you find it and convert to the correct type object than you can extract text and so on. Ex:

string showText = lbCod.Text;
