            </asp:GridView>

When I tried to access Session['cust_id'] it in my code, it is showing me an error saying null value.

C#

protected void btnAssignServ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            GridViewRow row = (sender as LinkButton).NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
            gridView.SelectedIndex = row.RowIndex;
            TextBox cust_id = (TextBox)(gridView.Rows[gridView.SelectedIndex].FindControl("TextBox1"));
            Session["custid"] = cust_id.Text;
            Label displayName = (Label)(gridView.Rows[gridView.SelectedIndex].FindControl("Label2"));
            Session["Display_Name"] = displayName.Text;
            Label lblcustSpoc = (Label)(gridView.Rows[gridView.SelectedIndex].FindControl("lbl_cust_spoc"));
            Session["cust_spoc"] = lblcustSpoc.Text;
            Response.Redirect("AssignServToCustomer.aspx");
           
        }

Please help.

can you show me your whole aspx code for grid ? and where is your hiddent field in grid ? I cannot see it.

srmohanr 9-Oct-13 2:10am

HeaderText="CustomerId", this is the hidden field

CodeBlack 9-Oct-13 2:24am

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="CustomerId" Visible="false">
<edititemtemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("cust_id") %>'>

<itemtemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("cust_id") %>'>

why do you keep this column visible='false' ? are you displaying that column again to visible ?

srmohanr 9-Oct-13 2:25am

This is an user page. I don't want to show the user ID to customer.

What do you mean by hidden field?

Do not bind column which needs to be kept hidden for user. Instead of that you can use hidden field and you can get value of the hidden field as shown in below sample :

ASPX Code:

XML

<asp:GridView ID="gridMain" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" >
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="EmployeeName">
            <EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("EmployeeName") %>'></asp:TextBox>
            </EditItemTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("EmployeeName") %>'></asp:Label>
                <input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hiddenEmployeeId" value='<%#Eval("EmployeeID") %>' />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Edit Services">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkButtonAssignServ" runat="server" Autopostback="true" CauseValidation="true" OnClick="btnAssignServ_Click"
                    Text="Edit Services"></asp:LinkButton>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Code Behind :

C#

protected void btnAssignServ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            GridViewRow row = (sender as LinkButton).NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
            gridMain.SelectedIndex = row.RowIndex;
            var customerId = gridMain.Rows[gridMain.SelectedIndex].FindControl("hiddenEmployeeId") as HtmlInputHidden;

            if (customerId != null)
            {
                Session["custid"] = customerId.Value;
            }
        }

You can also try the following to hide a field and get back into server side:

<ItemTemplate>
	<asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField1" runat="server" Value='<%# Bind("cust_id") %>' />
	<asp:Label ID ="CustomerId" runat ="server" Text =''></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>

Server Side Code:
string strValue=((HiddenField)Gridivew1.SelectedRow.Cells[1].FindControl("HiddenField1")).Value;

Get value of hidden field in GridView
