How to get the first column value of a selected row in GridView

Question

I have a GridView

How do I get a value of a column for a given row.

I tried the following but it only gives the row number instead of the value:

int selRowIndex = ((GridViewRow)(((System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox)sender).Parent.Parent)).RowIndex;

Answer 1

you are looking for the contentnot the index

var cellText= ((GridViewRow)(((System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox)sender).Parent.Parent)).Cells[0].Text;

and then convert it to int
