Cell Text Always &nbsp:

I want to display the text of a specific cell in a textbox whenever I select a row from my gridview but whenever i do this "&nbsp" is the only text that I get even though the cell is not empty. Data on the gridview is bound from my database and I made a function where all the data from my database will be bound on my gridview. Below is the code that I'm using.
textbox1.Text = myGridView.SelectedRow.Cells[3].Text;

Function that binds Data
private void PopulateData()
{
DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["TestCS"].ConnectionString))
{
string path = "PopulateSQL.txt";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path))
{
while (sr.Peek() >= 0)
{
sb.Append(sr.ReadLine());
}
string sql = sb.ToString();
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, connection))
{
using (SqlDataAdapter dataAdapt = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd))
{
dataAdapt.Fill(dataTable);
ViewState["NormalGrid"] = dataTable;
}
}
}
}
if (dataTable.Rows.Count > 0)
{
TraineeGrid.DataSource = dataTable;
TraineeGrid.DataBind();
}
else
{
//Displays 'No Data Found' to gridview if there are no data in table
dataTable.Rows.Add(dataTable.NewRow());
TraineeGrid.DataSource = dataTable;
TraineeGrid.DataBind();
TraineeGrid.Rows[0].Cells.Clear();
TraineeGrid.Rows[0].Cells.Add(new TableCell());
TraineeGrid.Rows[0].Cells[0].ColumnSpan = dataTable.Columns.Count;
TraineeGrid.Rows[0].Cells[0].Text = "No Data Found";
TraineeGrid.Rows[0].Cells[0].HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center;
}
}

You can use this: textbox1.Text = Server.HtmlDecode(row.Cells[1].Text.Trim());
In OnSelectedIndexChanged :
protected void OnSelectedIndexChanged1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Get the selected row
GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
if (row != null)
{
// With
// TextBox1.Text = (row.FindControl("lblLocalTime") as Label).Text;
// Without
TextBox1.Text = Server.HtmlDecode(row.Cells[1].Text.Trim());
}
}
Complete Markup:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="OnSelectedIndexChanged1" AutoGenerateSelectButton="true">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" ItemStyle-Width="150" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="City" HeaderText="City" ItemStyle-Width="150" />
</Columns>

I've already found a solution. The problem is Im using TemplateField instead of BoundField that's why I cant use .Cells[] to get the specific cell that I wanted to get. However, if you are using TemplateField you can use .FindControl() and put in the ID of the label where your binding of data happens (ex. Text ='<%# Eval("FirstName") %>'). You can see that I put label on ItemTemplate to call it's ID.

How to Access elements of a checked/selected row elements of gridview

I am working in windows 8.2 and was working to insert a selected row to my data base and i have web form which have a grideview with checkboxes to select/deselect and an event to insert.
the code of the web form is as
<asp:Panel runat="server" ID="pnlStudData">
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#CCCCCC" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3">

and the java script to select/deselect a check-box as
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function SelectAllCheckboxes(chk)
{
var totalRows = $("#<%=GridView1.ClientID%> tr").length;
var selected = 0;
$('#<%=GridView1.ClientID%>').find("input:checkbox").each(function () {
if (this != chk) {
this.checked = chk.checked;
selected += 1;
}
});
}
function CheckedCheckboxes(chk)
{
if(chk.checked)
{
var totalRows = $('#<%=GridView1.ClientID %> :checkboxes').length;
var checked = $('#<%=GridView1.ClientID %> :checkbox:checked').length;
if(checked==(totalRows-1))
{
$('#<%=GridView1.ClientID %>').find("input:checkbox").each(function () {
this.checked = true;
});
}
else
{
$('#<%=GridView1.ClientID %>').find('input:checkbox:first').removeAttr('checked');
}
}
else {
$('#<%=GridView1.ClientID %>').find('input:checkbox:first').removeAttr('checked');
}
}
</script>
and the button save click event which sends this selected row cells to a database class insert method as
foreach(GridViewRow gd in GridView1.Rows)
{
if ((gd.Cells[0].FindControl("chkCheck") as CheckBox).Checked)
{
// gd.Cells[0].Visible = false;
string stId = gd.Cells[1].Text.ToString();
string fName = gd.Cells[2].Text.ToString();
string mName = gd.Cells[3].Text.ToString();
string lName = gd.Cells[4].Text.ToString();
string cumpas = gd.Cells[5].Text.ToString();
string college = gd.Cells[6].Text.ToString();
string dept = gd.Cells[7].Text.ToString();
int bl = Convert.ToInt32(gd.Cells[8].Text);
int dormNo = Convert.ToInt32(gd.Cells[9].Text);
DbCon db = new DbCon();
if (db.RegisterStud(stId, fName, mName, lName, cumpas, college, dept, bl, dormNo) == 1)
{
Label1.Text = "You Have Inserted";
}
else
{
Label1.Text = "Errror";
}
}
else { Label1.Text = "Please select a row"; }
}
but i can't find each cells value and not assigned to those string variables.

When using <asp:TemplateField>, the data is not inside Cell but is contained in the Control present inside the Cell.
row.Cells[].Text works only when using <asp:BoundField> for GridView Columns.
So, There are two steps to read the value when using <asp:TemplateField>:
Access the Control inside Cell
Access the Value from Control in step 1
I see you did the above steps to read the Checkbox value from first Column already. Follow the same for all other Columns.
if ((gd.Cells[0].FindControl("chkCheck") as CheckBox).Checked)
{
// Step 1: Access the Control inside Cell
Label lblName = (Label)gd.Cells[1].FindControl("lblStudName");
// Step 2: Access the Value from Control in step 1
string Name = lblName.Text;
// Combine Step 1 & Step 2: Access Values in one line
string Name = ((Label)gd.Cells[1].FindControl("lblStudName")).Text;
string firstName = ((Label)gd.Cells[2].FindControl("lblFirstName")).Text;
// ....same way for all Columns which use a <asp:TemplateField>
}

Gridview footer Textbox javascript call not working after two insert

Bind data to nested grid in footer

I have added programatically button to the footer in RowDataBound:
else if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Footer)
{
e.Row.Cells[1].Text = "Total: ";
e.Row.Cells[2].Text = totalStaff.ToString();
Button showStaff = new Button();
showStaff.CommandName = "ShowAll";
showStaff.Text = e.Row.Cells[2].Text.ToString();
e.Row.Cells[2].Controls.Add(showStaff);
e.Row.Cells[1].HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right;
showStaff.Click += new EventHandler(showStaff_Click);
}
now I want to handle showStaff_Click to bind data to nested gridview. I wrote bwlow code in RowCommand but index is null:
if(e.CommandName == "ShowAll")
{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
GridViewRow row = Staff.Rows[index];
GridView StaffInfo = (GridView)Staff.Rows[index].FindControl("StaffInfo");
int TeamID = 0;
int cityID = 3699;
StaffInfo.DataSource = GetStaff(cityID, TeamID);
StaffInfo.DataBind();
}
I will appreciate Your help.
EDIT:
I have nade some changes:
protected void Staff_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
try
{
//Checking for command name which command/button is pressed
if (e.CommandName == "ShowDetails")

GridView StaffInfo = (GridView)Staff.Rows[index].FindControl("StaffInfo");
int TeamID = Convert.ToInt16(Staff.DataKeys[index].Values[0].ToString());
int cityID = Convert.ToInt16(Staff.DataKeys[index].Values[1].ToString());
StaffInfo.DataSource = GetStaff(cityID, TeamID);

When I try to click the ShowAll button ite returns that index is out of range. I made Response.Write(intex.ToString()) and it returns -1. The index number in case or row is returned correctly. The problem is with footer button. Could You please help me?

You did not set CommandArgument when you crated your button.
Button showStaff = new Button();
showStaff.CommandName = "ShowAll";
showStaff.CommandArgument = e.Row.RowIndex.ToString();
showStaff.Text = e.Row.Cells[2].Text.ToString();

row.Cells[4].Text returns nothing in GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged?

I set the DataSource with the follwing code :
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
LabelTitr.Text = "Add Banks";
LabelResult.Text = "";
if (Session["Username"] != null)
{
string permission = "";
bool login = PublicMethods.CheckUsernamePass(Session["Username"].ToString(), Session["Password"].ToString(), out permission);
if (!login)
{
permission = "";
Response.Redirect("../Default.aspx");
Session["Username"] = Session["Password"] = null;
return;
}
}
else
{
Response.Redirect("../Default.aspx");
Session["Username"] = Session["Password"] = null;
return;
}
if (!IsPostBack)
BindDataToGridView1();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
LabelResult.Text = ex.Message;
}
}
void BindDataToGridView1()
{
try
{
DataSet1 dataSet = new DataSet1();
DataClasses2DataContext dbc2 = new DataClasses2DataContext();
var Definitions = dbc2.Definitions;
if (Definitions.Count() <= 0) return;
foreach (var Definition in Definitions)
{
string bankName = dbc2.Banks.Where(c => c.BankID == Definition.BankID).First().BankName;
string CheckBox = "<input name=\"CheckBoxSubmitChanges\" type=\"checkbox\" value=" + Definition.DefinitionID + " />";
dataSet.DataTableBanks.Rows.Add(bankName, Definition.BankAccount, Definition.MerchantID, Definition.TerminalID, Definition.TerminalID);
GridView1.DataSource = dataSet.DataTableBanks;
}
GridView1.DataBind();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
LabelResult.Text = ex.Message;
}
}
and this is GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged method :
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
string temp = row.Cells[4].Text;
LabelResult.Text = temp;
}
But always temp string is empty !!!
What's wrong with it ?
Thanks

If it's a TemplateField, you have to use the FindControl("control ID") option, not the text fo the cell. I count cell 4 as being a templatefield...

There is no Text as your data is stored in controls. You need to search for the control you want and pull the Text out of.
Eg:
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
string temp = row.Cells[4].FindControl('LabelGridViewBankName').Text;
LabelResult.Text = temp;
}
Optionally you could could key off the DataKey property if you are using it and then use it to search your datasource for the value you want.

//this will give you control over the textbox object
var field = (TextBox)(GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("your_control_ID"));
//and here you can access the text
string temp = field.Text;
