hello guys.... im using a small button in each of the row on the Grid. Now I have a small text box in which I want to show a particular column value from a row, which I retreived using OnRowCommand function of GridView. Now I get this row but unable to show it in text box. Here is what I am trying to do.

protected void OnRowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == ("Show"))
    {
        int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument); //this will get rowid from gridview
        GridViewRow row = gridCalls.Rows[index];
        txt1.Text = row.Cells[2].ToString(); // second column in the sql server database
    }
}

Any idea what am I missing? thanx:confused:

Solution 1

use

txt1.Text = row.Cells[2].Text;

In you code you are assigning a control to the textbox text.

I dont know what you mean by this but just changing the code according to your suggestion solved my problem. Please explain what you said by giving a line of code as im new to asp.net. thnx

row.Cells[2] is referring the Field Cell control. row.Cells[2].ToString() gives the name of the control
