How can i add a textbox into a each cell of GridView dynamically and how can i retrieve entred data

Hello Raju,

You have to create

ItemTemplate

for placing textbox on gridview cell.

For retrieving items from textbox you have to find control from gridview datarow.
e.g.

foreach (GridViewRow row in gvShoppingCart.Rows)
        {
            if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
            {
                 int quantity = int.Parse(((TextBox)row.Cells[1].FindControl("txtQuantity")).Text);
            }
        }

Thanks,

Below is the sample code to give you basic idea, you need modify this code as per your requirement

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string[] dataSource = { "Cell 1", "Cell 2", "Cell 3" };
GridView1.DataSource = dataSource;
GridView1.DataBind();
}

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
for(int i =0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
{
TextBox txt = new TextBox();
txt.Text = e.Row.Cells[i].Text;
e.Row.Cells[i].Text = "";
e.Row.Cells[i].Controls.Add(txt);

}
}
}


protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (var row = 0; row < GridView1.Rows.Count; row++)
{
for (int col = 0; col < GridView1.Rows[row].Cells.Count; col++)
{
TextBox txt = (TextBox)GridView1.Rows[row].Cells[col].Controls[0];
string newVal = txt.Text;
//write logic to update your datasource here
}
}

}

there is no need of adding textboxes in gridview when u can directly edit them afer adding textboxcolumn.

to retrieve the value from a cell of gridview

string myCellvalue=gridview.rows[gridview selected rowindex].cells["columnname"].value;
