Looks like you might be querying incorrect cell indexes. Are you sure you are querying the correct cell indexes? Can you send me the grid design?

Hi diya To get the column value in the RowCommand event first you should get the index of the row from the CommandArgument property. Then you can use the index and get the GridViewRow from the GridView.Rows collection. Finally you can query the Cells collection and get the value. Following is the sample code: // Get the row index stored in the CommandArgument int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument); // Retrieve the row that contains the button clicked // by the user from the Rows collection. GridViewRow oRow = oGridView.Rows[index]; // Get the column Text using the Cells collection. string columnValue = oRow.Cells[2].Text; Hope this helps.
