I have created gridview which has textboxes attached in specific cells for that i used following code

C#

protected void GridView2_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            if (e.Row.RowIndex >= 5)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
                {
                    if (i > 1)
                    {
                        TextBox txt = new TextBox();
                        txt.Text = e.Row.Cells[i].Text;
                        txt.Width = System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Pixel(25);
                        e.Row.Cells[i].Controls.Add(txt);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Now When I enter values in textbox I want to access values on that respective textboxes
for that i tried
TextBox txt = (TextBox)grwUploadManual.Rows[y].Cells[y - 3].Controls[0];
But it looks that error is getting
threw an exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' System.Web.UI.Control {System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
I debug code and check value on that cell 'grwUploadManual.Rows[y].Cells[y - 3].Text' I got values but i cant find control how should i find controls dynamically
thanks in advance....

Solution 4

just try the code below

string s = datagridview1.CurrentCell.EdittedFormattedValue.ToString();

This will give you current cell value.

In order to get the value of textbox which is embedded within a gridview, You need to find row index in which the textbox is present and you need to know the command arguement which fires the event and the rowcommand_event.

We derive the row index using the following code:

C#

int rowIndex = ((GridViewRow((LinkButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer).
RowIndex;

After getting the row index we need to know the id of the textbox whose text we want to get let us assume that our textbox has an id "txtTitle" and we derive the text it contains as follows:

string title = ((TextBox)GridView1.Rows[rowIndex].FindControl("txtTitle")).Text;

C#

TextBox txt=(TextBox)GridViewFRM.Rows[i].Cells[0].FindControl("GVQuestionTextBox");
string Ques = txt.Text;
