All,

I want to get a value out of a container, e.g. dataview,formview,gridview etc

and place it straight into a variable outside of the container

any help would be appreciated

regards
DD

Hi DD,

Not sure if I really understand the question? Surely this is not a task?

Get the value via the relevant objects properties, and then place it in the variable?!?!

e.g.
string x = dataView1[0][0].ToString(); //first row, first column.
FormView (Not too familiar with web, but I am sure it has its own object model for retrieving contained values.
string x = form1.Controls["textBox1"].Text;

etc.
