can't get checkbox value from Gridview

akshay144 · #1 (**permalink**) August 12th, 2009, 11:41 AM

Hi All

I am populating a grid at runtime/on-the-fly which is fine.

But when I want to get a value of a check-box in the grid I am getting error.
I can't use the findcontrol as it doesn't exist for any of the controls.

Please help me.

CodeBehind:-

Code:

protectedvoid GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
bool att = false;
GridViewRow gvrow = GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex];
CheckBox chk_SelectCheckbox = (CheckBox)gvrow.Cells[4].Controls[1]; //checkbox to capture chkbox selection
}

Don't forget these indexes are zero-based.

If you want to target the 4th cell in the row, you'd use Cells[3].

If the checkbox is the only control in that cell, you'd use Controls[0].

i would i advise you to use findControl of the respective row. This way even if you add some more controls in the future it wont break at runtime

gvrow.Cells[4].FindControl()

Need to download code?
