How can I get selected row cell value of grid view on page?

Question

I am using a Grid View on my page.

I want to show the data of the selected row cell through response.write(), on the click event of the page button.

what coulmn type are you using in gridview like templatefield or bound field or .... better to put your gridview markup for better solutions:) — Devjosh, May 23 '11 at 09:51
you have to handle the gridview selected index changed event and in this event store the value of the cell in a variable and then fetch that value on button click the varible can be placed in partial claa of page or control whatever you are using. — Devjosh, May 23 '11 at 10:22

Note::

please set the CommandName of your button to "selectCol"
Please set the CommandName for the second button , you will use to delete

to"deleteCol"

Set the command argument property for your button :

.aspx

CommandArgument='<%#((GridViewRow)Container).RowIndex%>'
CommandArgument='<%#((GridViewRow)Container).RowIndex%>'

for the two buttons.

.cs

 protected void gv_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
            if (e.CommandName == "selectCol")
            {
                Response.Write(gv.Rows[index].Cells[0].Text); //consider you use bound field and the column you want to show its value is the first column.
            }

            else if(e.CommandName == "deleteCol")
             {
                 int id = int.Parse(gv.DataKeys[index].Value.ToString());//the primary key for your table.
                 Delete(id);//method which use (Delete From .... Where id = ....).
             }


            gv.DataBind();

        }

        catch (Exception ee)
        {
            string message = ee.Message;
        }
    }

Greeting Hims.

Easyest way to read value from gridview field is to write:
your_grid_name.SelectedRow.Cell(*number_of_index*).text

In my case that is:

Dim employer_name As String
employer_name=poslodavac_grid.SelectedRow.Cells(1).Text

Just remember that first cell index is zero and that doesn't count "asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton" tag as first one ...

If you are using a LINK BUTTON in your grid view, you can use the following code in the ROWCOMMAND method. This code with retrieve all the values in the particular selected row.

 // to get the value of the link use the command argument 
 FaultId = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

 // to get the other column values 

UserId = Convert.ToInt32(((GridViewRow(((LinkButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer)).Cells[1].Text);  

Department = ((GridViewRow(((LinkButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer)).Cells[2].Text;

ProblemType = ((GridViewRow)(((LinkButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer)).Cells[3].Text;

Use GridView.SelectedRow property.

String cellText = this.gridView.SelectedRow.Cells[cellIndex].Text;

Refer to the following to learn about selecting a row in a GridView control.

@divya: I guess you havent selected a row then. Where exactly are you getting the error ? – Akram Shahda May 23 '11 at 10:18
String cellText = grdlistWord.SelectedRow.Cells[0].ToString(); here i am getting error.and i had selected row through checkbox – divya May 23 '11 at 10:24
@divya: It would be more appropriate if you used another way to select rows. Check the appended section of my answer. – Akram Shahda May 23 '11 at 10:40
@Akram Shahda : i can not select row in another way because its my task to select row through checkbox and delete selected row. – divya May 23 '11 at 11:44

You can get it in the RowCommand event of the gridview:

protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)

{
    if (e.CommandName == "Select")
    {
        GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)(((Button)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);
        Response.Write(row.Cells[0].Text);
        Response.Write(row.Cells[1].Text);
        ................
    }
}

i want the selected row on the button click event not on row command – divya May 23 '11 at 10:14
When you click the button, RowCommand will be fired. in this event you can do whatever you want. Plus you need to set That buttom CommandName="Select" – Muhammad Akhtar May 23 '11 at 10:16
Did you debug ? did you get into if (e.CommandName == "Select") – Muhammad Akhtar May 23 '11 at 10:40
are you able to come into this line Response.Write(row.Cells[0].Text); ? – Muhammad Akhtar May 23 '11 at 10:43
Can you post the html of your button here ? – Muhammad Akhtar May 23 '11 at 10:47
