[dembyg]

Hello all, I hope someone can assist me with my problem. I have a gridview and I am trying to store data from a particular cell into a session variable... I tried several methods and none seem to work... would anyone happen to have a suggestion how I could accomplish my task.. Thanks

It really depends when you want to get the contents of the cell.

What have you tried, and what were the results?

I would like to get the contents of the cell after loading the form. I tried using gridview.findcontrol and gridview.columns().tostring. none of these options work.

What do you mean "after loading the form"? On page load, on a button click, on data binding?

on page load

In that case, you'd have to loop through each row (unless you know which row you wanted) and have a look at the cell text e.g.

        For Each gr As GridViewRow In GridView1.Rows
            If gr.Cells(0).Text = "mytext" Then Session.Add("mytext", gr.Cells(0).Text)
        Next

I'd have thought it would make more sense to do it on the binding event though.
