Question

public partial class Gridvw_expt2 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
   SqlCommand com;
   SqlDataAdapter da;
   DataSet ds;
   SqlConnection con=new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["gj"].ConnectionString);
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{


    com = new SqlCommand("Select * from tblExpt",con);
    da = new SqlDataAdapter(com);
    ds = new DataSet();
    da.Fill(ds);
    if (ds.Tables[0].Rows[0] != null)
    {
        GridView1.AutoGenerateEditButton = true; 
        GridView1.DataSource = ds;
        GridView1.DataBind();
        GridView1.RowUpdating += new GridViewUpdateEventHandler(GridView1_RowUpdating);
        GridView1.DataKeyNames = new string[] { "id" };
        GridView1.RowEditing += new GridViewEditEventHandler(GridView1_RowEditing);

    }
    else
        Response.Write("fkj");
}

protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
    GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex];
    int id = Convert.ToInt32(GridView1.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Value);

    string cls = ((TextBox)(row.Cells[2].Controls[0])).Text;
    string nam = ((TextBox)(row.Cells[3].Controls[0])).Text;
    foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in e.NewValues)
    {
        e.NewValues[entry.Key] = Server.HtmlEncode(entry.Value.ToString());
    }
    com = new SqlCommand("Update tblExpt set name='" + nam + "',class='" + cls + "' where id='" + id + "'", con);
    da = new SqlDataAdapter(com);
    GridView1.EditIndex = -1;
    GridView1.DataSource = ds;
    GridView1.DataBind();
}
protected void GridView1_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{
    GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
    GridView1.DataSource = ds;
    GridView1.DataBind();
}

}

In the above code when i try to access e.new values index out of range exception is thrown.

The table being accessed contains 3 fields id, class, name
Please help to solve the problem.

Read this blog post I wrote on extracting data from gridview (and other data controls). Also, in .net 4.0 if you use 2 way binding (<# Bind(“”) #>) e.NewValues will be populated.
