Sanjeeb Lenka · Answer

you can try like this: int x = Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.Cells[7].Text.Trim()); int y = Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.Cells[8].Text.Trim()); if (x > y) { } else { }

Hi You need to use String.Compare method string x = e.Row.Cells[7].Text.Trim(); string y = e.Row.Cells[8].Text.Trim(); int result=String.Compare(x y StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase); if(result>0) // x is greater than y { } else if(result { } else // x is equal to y { } Regards Iftikar
