The gridview is just a visual rendering of your data. If you want to know what the data in a certain "cell" is then rather than use the gridview, query the datasource the grid view is rendered from. That will give you access to the raw data, not an html rendering of it.

Dear Nakur,

it not returns the cell's value, it returns this: System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlFieldCell

The try "label1.Text=GridView1.Rows[2].Cells[4].Value.ToString();"

Dear Ralph,
i found the solution:
label1.Text=GridView1.Rows[2].Cells[4].Text; this will return the item saved in the specified cell
