Return Databound Field From Gridview

[raphael232]

Hi, i'm making an attempt at the article at

http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/052406-1.aspx.

Everything works a treat except that instead of using the datakey (as done in the article) i wish to use a field bounded to the gridview. I have tried doing:

For i As Integer = 0 To GridView1.Rows.Count - 1
    Dim chkAuthorise As CheckBox = CType(GridView1.Rows(i).FindControl("chkAuthorise"), CheckBox)
    Dim strTitle As String = DataBinder.Eval(GridView1.Rows(i).DataItem, "Title")

    If chkAuthorise.Checked Then
        lblSummary.Text &= "<li>" & strTitle & "</li>"
    End If
Next

To return the Title field but it keeps returning an empty string.

Appreciate it if someone could tell me what i am doing wrong.

Thanks

Use the RowDataBound event to loop through the gridview rows. It fires as each row is bound. Then you can simply access the values of the cells in that event.
