Question

How can i find value of particular row in gridview. Say a gridview has 10 rows and 4 columns. I know that we can find the row number from row index, but how can we find what is the value of column 2 of row 5 (as per my gridview) or know a value of the cell?

Answer 1

Use the following:

CustomersGridView.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[cellIndex].Text

More about .Rows collection

If you are interested in FindControl method, the most suitable event for you is RowDataBound:

void CustomersGridView_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        var control = e.Row.Cell[cellIndex].FindControl("ControlID");
        e.Row.Cells[1].Text = ((TypeOfControl)control).Text;
    }
}
