Hi,
I have an ASP Grid where i set the ID of textbox dynamically in RowDataBound event
Code

TextBox txt = (TextBox)e.Row.Cells[1].FindControl("txt");
txtS.ID = "txt" + e.Row.RowIndex;

.But on RowCommand event i am unable to find the textbox.

Code

if (e.CommandName == "saveAnswer")
{
int RowIndex = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
TextBox txt = (TextBox)Grid.Rows[RowIndex].FindControl("txt" + RowIndex);
}

I am getting null value for Textbox txt.

Thanks in Advance

Why ur doing in complex..
On your CommandName u can assign CommangArgument of your textbox column..
so u will get text with CommandArgument....like

in Source file do this..

C++

<asp:LinkButton ID="LB" CommandName="saveAnswer" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("Column name of your textbox") %>' runat="server">Save</asp:LinkButton>

in cs file..

C#

if (e.CommandName == "saveAnswer")
{
string strTextboxValue = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
//your textbox value

}
