hi, i'm been trying to get the textbox value in the datagrid everytime the user click the edit in the datagrid, however,
i always get "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" this error
while executing string checkname1 = aTextBox.Text;

if the aTextbox is returning null , is there any way tat i get the value of the text box once the user click the edit button everytime?

anyone know how to solve this ? thanks in advance

public void DataGrid1_EditCommand(object sender, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{

DataGrid1.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex;

BindGrid();

TextBox aTextBox;
aTextBox = ((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtconstName"));
string checkname1 = aTextBox.Text;


}

do all of them in Update_Command event instead,you need just two lines in Edit_Command,
then in Update_Command find your TextBox and retrieve its properties.
