                            txt1.Style.Add("text-align", "right")
                            
                            oRow2.Cells.Add(oCell2)

                            oCell2.Controls.Add(txt1)
                            oCell2.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right
                            oTable1.Width = New Unit(100, UnitType.Percentage)
                            oTable1.Rows.Add(oRow2)
                            DirectCast(e.Row, System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRow).Cells.Item(8).Controls.Add(oTable1)

Loop

what it does is it adds textboxes to a row

Solution 1

If you give your Textbox controls unique IDs then you can just reference them by that ID.

VB

txt1.ID = "SomeUniqueNameBasedOnYourDataSource"

i have done the way as told by Mr. Marcus Kramer. the problem that i am having now is at grid_rowdatabound some value is assigned to each textbox. now the end user can change the value. i need to get the updated value. but it is showing me the old value that was assigned to the textbox at rowdatabound.
suppose the id txt11.text=11
the user can updated at runtime to any value. for example say 15
when i am using
Dim txt As TextBox = DirectCast(row.Cells(8).FindControl(txt11), TextBox)
then in txt.text it is showing me 11 not 15. i want 15 to get. how can this be done.
can any one please guide me

thank you in advance
