Hi,
It should be:
DataGrid dgDropDownMenus= (DataGrid)sender;
if(e.Item.ItemType.ToString() != "Header" && e.Item.ItemType.ToString() !=
"Footer")
{
string option = ((TextBox )e.Item.FindControl("txtName")).Text;
}
Although i have written this code for Datagrid, you can use same for
gridview with little or no modification.
Thanks and Regards,
Manish Bafna.

Hi,

event u r using then only i would be able to help you out.

I had to change your code where you had the "as TextBox" because it caused an
error to the following:
this.dgDropDownMenus.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex;
TextBox option =
(TextBox)dgDropDownMenus.Items[this.dgDropDownMenus.EditItemIndex].FindControl("txtName");
Then I got the following error: error: identifier 'option' out of scope,
when I checked the object "option" after running the code. It was not a run
time error, I did a quick watch.
I appreciate your patience and help in trying to help me figure this out.

I had to change your code where you had the "as TextBox" because it caused an
error to the following:
this.dgDropDownMenus.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex;
TextBox option =
(TextBox)dgDropDownMenus.Items[this.dgDropDownMenus.EditItemIndex].FindControl("txtName");
Then I got the following error: error: identifier 'option' out of scope,
when I checked the object "option" after running the code. It was not a run
time error, I did a quick watch.
I appreciate your patience and help in trying to help me figure this out.

Hi,
can you please tell at which line you are getting this error?Most probably
you would be using this line of findcontrol in update event of DataGrid.If
you give details as to where r using this code of findcontrol or in which

Hi,
It should be:
DataGrid dgDropDownMenus= (DataGrid)sender;
if(e.Item.ItemType.ToString() != "Header" && e.Item.ItemType.ToString() !=
"Footer")
{
string option = ((TextBox )e.Item.FindControl("txtName")).Text;
}
Although i have written this code for Datagrid, you can use same for
gridview with little or no modification.
