Hi all,

protected void update_Status_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        
        List<int> id = new List<int>();
       
        foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows) 
        {
            int i = row.RowIndex;
        
            CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("SelectCashout");
 
            if (cb != null && cb.Checked) 
            {
                

                if (GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[2].Text == "Requested")
                {
                    int x = Convert.ToInt32(GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].Text);
                    id.Add(x);
                }
            } 
        } 
    }

When I debug it I am getting "GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[2].Text" value as empty string.

This is not a Gridview event, it is button event out side the gridview.
I tried row.Cells[2].Text it doesn't help. At the moment gridview showing 10 rows with all the data in all the columns.

It's not Edit/Update button on Gridview.
I am giving option to the user to select which rows he wants to update.
Based on his selection through checkbox I have to update just one cell value in the gridview and collect primary key of that row in the table so I will update datasource at backend(That code I haven't included)
Hope you understood. updating one cell value is not mandatory because I am updating datasource and I can rebind it. Collecting that row's Primary key(Datasource Table's) is
"GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].Text" important to update database.

What am I missing here? any help thanks

Below code may help you

C#

LinkButton lbtnID= (LinkButton)sender;
int index = ((GridViewRow)lbtnID.NamingContainer).RowIndex;

Label lblID= ((Label)gdDiscount.Rows[index].Cells[1].FindControl("lblID"));
int  value= Convert.ToInt32(lblID.Text.ToString());
