Question

I have the follow line in my code

HtmlControl divstatus = (HtmlControl)GridView1.Rows[j].FindControl("divstatus");

and in my .aspx

<div style="width:70px;" id="divStatus" runat="server"><%# Eval("DscStatus")%></div>

How can I get the value of my div in the codebehind using the class HtmlControl ?

My Grid View is too big, so i’ll post just a part

   <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="100%" CellPadding="4" 
        EnableModelValidation="True" ForeColor="#333333">
        <FooterStyle BackColor="#990000" ForeColor="White" Font-Bold="True" />
        <HeaderStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
        <PagerStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" ForeColor="#333333" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
        <RowStyle BackColor="#FFFBD6" ForeColor="#333333" />
        <SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="Navy" />
        <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
        <Columns>
            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Chamado">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <div style="width:30px;">
                       <a href='responder.aspx?cod=<%# Eval("Codigo") %>&sta=<%# Eval("StatusTicket_Id") %>&mot=<%# Eval("MotivoTicket_Id") %>'>
                                <%# Eval("Codigo") %>
                            </a>                                                                       
                        <%# montaAnexo(Eval("Anexo").ToString())%>                
                    </div>
                </ItemTemplate>                
            </asp:TemplateField>

Update your line above this way

 HtmlControls.HtmlContainerControl divstatus = (HtmlControls.HtmlContainerControl)GridView1.Rows[j].FindControl("divstatus");

Then access its innerText

 divstatus.InnerText
