Solution 1

The link you provided is for Windows Forms. It does not work like that.

Try the below,

CS

C#

(GridView1.Rows[YOUR_ROW_INDEX].FindControl(YOUR_CONTROL_NAME) as TextBox).Text

VB

CType(GridView1.Rows(YOUR_ROW_INDEX).FindControl(YOUR_CONTROL_NAME), TextBox).Text

or

CS

C#

(GridView1.Rows[YOUR_ROW_INDEX].Cells[YOUR_CELL_INDEX].Controls(YOUR_CONTROL_INDEX) as TextBox).Text

VB

CType(GridView1.Rows[YOUR_ROW_INDEX].Cells[YOUR_CELL_INDEX].Controls(YOUR_CONTROL_INDEX), TextBox).Text

Mark it as answer if it is helpful

MOVED FROM OP COMMENT:

sir, is the control_name = the field names from database?
sir here's my sample code

Protected Sub Gridview1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewSelectEventArgs)

       txtLName.Text = CType(GridView1.Row(1).FindControl(YOUR_CONTROL_NAME), TextBox).Text
   End Sub

but there is some error,
states that: "row is not a member of system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview"
thanks for the response sir :)
I hope you reply again :D

Sorry, my bad. I corrected it. Its "Rows". YOUR_CONTROL_NAME is the name you given for that server control. If you haven't given any name, use the second option mentioned in the above answer.

sevengenn 14-Feb-11 22:00pm

sir, can you give sample to declare the control_name. :)
thanks sir.

Venkatesh Mookkan 14-Feb-11 22:02pm

Use this and get going,

CType(GridView1.Rows[1].Cells[YOUR_CELL_INDEX].Controls(YOUR_CONTROL_INDEX), TextBox).Text

YOUR_CELL_INDEX - which column. The index starts from 0.
YOUR_CONTROL_INDEX - control's index. Try 0.

sevengenn 14-Feb-11 22:06pm

txtLName.Text = CType(GridView1.Rows[1].Cells[0].Controls(0), TextBox).Text

sir the 1 = tells that "identifier expected"

sir, I'm sorry for too many questions.

Post your ASPX code and which field your trying to access. It is very hard to fix your problem like this way.

sevengenn 14-Feb-11 22:56pm

sir, thanks :) I made it. :) thanks for the help :D
