asp net c# get value of specific row in gridview using checkbox

I have a gridview with three columns admin id, admin name and checkbox, and there is a single button below the gridview,
I want to get the value of admin name column and display it in a label when I check the checkbox and then click the button,
I tried doing this and its working fine but I can get one value only for example if I checked two checkbox and then clicked the button it get only the last value, and I want to get them all.

protected void btn_save(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
{
if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
CheckBox chkRow = (row.Cells[2].FindControl("CheckBox_privileges") as CheckBox);
if (chkRow.Checked)
{
string name= (row.Cells[1].FindControl("label_name") as Label).Text;
Label4.Text = name;
}
}
}
}

In this line you are overriding the text:
Label4.Text = name;
To add all the text you should do something like this:
Label4.Text = name + Label4.Text;

How to find TextBox in GridViewRow edit mode

I have tried several so called answers for this and it has me lost. I am simply trying to default a TextBox Text value with today's date and time, but I cannot find the control when I click LinkButton with CommandName "Edit".
Here is my gridview...
<asp:GridView ID="gvSignInRegister" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="3"
DataSourceID="sdsSignInRegister" ForeColor="Black" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#999999" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" GridLines="Vertical" OnRowCommand="gvSignInRegister_RowCommand1">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Returned" SortExpression="DateTimeReturned">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtReturned" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:ImageButton runat="Server" ID="calImg" ImageUrl="~/images/Calendar_scheduleHS.png" AlternateText="Click to show calendar" CausesValidation="False" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfv1" runat="server" SetFocusOnError="true" ValidationGroup="vg1" ControlToValidate="txtReturned" ErrorMessage="Required"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender ID="ce1" runat="server" PopupButtonID="calImg" Enabled="true" Format="dd/MM/yyyy" TargetControlID="txtReturned" PopupPosition="TopRight" OnClientDateSelectionChanged="AppendTime"></ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label9" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("DateTimeReturned","{0:dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField ShowHeader="False">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnCAN" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" CommandName="Cancel" Text="CANCEL" />
<asp:Button ID="btnUPD" runat="server" ValidationGroup="vg1" CausesValidation="true" CommandName="Update" Text="UPDATE" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnEDT" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" CommandName="Edit" CommandArgument='<%# Container.DataItemIndex %>' Text="SIGN IN" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<FooterStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#999999" ForeColor="Black" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#000099" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="Black" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" />
</asp:GridView>
The LinkButton btnEDT works and puts the gridview in edit mode. But in code behind I cannot find "txtReturned".
This is what I've tried so far...
protected void gvSignInRegister_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Edit")
{
int rowIdx = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
GridViewRow row = gvSignInRegister.Rows[rowIdx];
if (row != null && row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
TextBox tb = (TextBox)row.FindControl("txtReturned");
if (tb != null) tb.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");
//I've tried this too but it does not work. Interestingly, it does not crash, so cells[4] must exist!
//row.Cells[4].Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");
}
}
}
For some reason the rowIdx is always 0. Why? I thought a row index of 0 meant the header of the gridview control.
I've also tried using the NamingContainer that most other people have suggested in other posts, but that returns a blank (I suspect new?) GridViewRow.
ie
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((GridViewRow)(e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);
UPDATE
I found this, which is exactly the problem I am having, but the solution via the RowEditing still does not find the textbox!
However the RowDataBound() solved it! Read my answer below.

The answer was in getting into the editmode version of the GridView itself and then find the control!
As per this post...
<asp:GridView ID="gvSignInRegister" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="3"
DataSourceID="sdsSignInRegister" ForeColor="Black" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#999999" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" GridLines="Vertical" OnRowDataBound="gvSignInRegister_RowDataBound">
<Columns> ...etc...
protected void gvSignInRegister_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
if ((e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) > 0)
{
TextBox tb = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("txtReturned");
if (tb != null) tb.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");
}
}
}

Use Container.DisplayIndex instead of Container.DataItemIndex
But I dont think you will get textBox control if you are placing it in EditItemTemplate
If your expectation is editing operation then please use the below code
HTML

Access GridView ItemTemplate control ASP.NET

I am using ASP.NET GridView on ASPX page:
<asp:GridView ID="GrdLimitAndUtilization" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None"
Width="99%" meta:resourcekey="GrdAccountListResource1" OnRowDataBound="GrdLimitAndUtilization_RowDataBound"
ShowHeader="True" rowstyle-cssclass="rowHover" ClientIDMode="Static" CssClass="gridView">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Excess" meta:resourcekey="Excess">
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" Width="120px" CssClass="gridheader" />
<HeaderTemplate> <asp:Label ID="col5a" Text="Excess" runat="server"></asp:Label></HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkExcess" runat="server" value='' Text='<%# Bind("Excess") %>'
meta:resourcekey="HyperLink1Resource1"></asp:HyperLink>
<asp:Label ID="Excess_Currency" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Currency") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="120px" HorizontalAlign="Left" CssClass="customerProductItemTemp gridviewLeftMargin" />
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I know I can access GridView column by following code:
GrdLimitAndUtilization.Rows[0].Cells[0].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
BUT, How can I access value/text of only HyperLink control with ID="lnkExcess"??
Thanks.

You can use RowDataBound event like this:-
protected void GrdLimitAndUtilization_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
HyperLink lnkExcess = (HyperLink)e.Row.FindControl("lnkExcess");
//Access hyperlink's properties here.
}
}

Drop down list is not updated in the gridview

I have a gridview populated with elements extracted from a table in the database. Each row contains 2 textboxes and 1 drop down list. The drop down list is filled when the page is loaded.
My issue is: when I edit the row, select another item from the drop down list and then click on update button, nothing changes. The drop down list still returns to its default value, neither the modiefied values are updated in the db (delete doesn't work etc). I can't understand the reason. Please help me.

I suggest you to add DefaultContainerName property, add stringconnection
<asp:EntityDataSource ID="DataSource" runat="server"
ConnectionString="name=..."
DefaultContainerName="..."
EntitySetName="users"
EnableDelete="True" EnableInsert="True" EnableUpdate="True"/>
