retrieve value from datagrid row using c#

[logi2000]

hi, i have a datagrid with template columns.
i also have a select link button column, i want to obtain the value of the first column of the selected row. i am using c#. i have try something like

dgcontrol.SelectedIndex.Rows[0].Text byt it does not return the value of the row. or it returns a "" value.

what would be the best way to retrieve the value from the column ?

Well, if your in a template column and you have entered an asp:TextBox or the like, you have to do this...

CType(dgControl.Items(0).FindControl("ControlName"),TextBox).Text

or

CType(dgControl.Items(0).FindControl("ControlName"),DropDownList).SelectedItem.Text

Try this for selected row -

CType(dgControl.Items(dgcontrol.SelectedIndex).FindControl("ControlName"),TextBox).Text
