Problem reading value form Gridview template field.

[Guest]

Hi,
I have the foll template field

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Quantity" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="center">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Eval("quantity") %>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtQty" runat="server" Width="29"
Height="13" Text='<%# Eval("quantity") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I am able to read the EditItem by this

..Quantity = CType(r.Cells(e.RowIndex).FindControl("txtQty"), TextBox).Text

but when I try to read from the ItemTemplate like this

..Quantity = r.Cells(9).Text

I get Null or empty value. Please advice.

Thanks

I believe you need Quantity = r.Cells(9).Controls(1).Text
