Hi, I'm a newbie and I'm looking for some help. I'm programming in
VB.Net.

I have a simple gridview and when the user hits the Edit link, the
gridview changes to edit mode. I replaced the Textboxes with labels and I
turn off the Update command because I want to write my own update command.
I can not figure out how to pull the value from a cell in the row the user
hit Edit on.

Example: User hits edit on row 10 and the value I want to pull in in
column 5 and is a Label with the ID of AnswerID. How do I get that value.
This is what I've tried and it didn't work.

Gridview.findcontrol("AnswerID").tostring


Thanks!

someone answered this at another group

To get the content, use (VB.NET)
CType(Gridview.Rows(GridView.EditIndex).Cells(5).F indControl("AnswerID"),Label).Text
In C#:
((Label)Gridview.Rows(GridView.EditIndex).Cells(5) .FindControl("AnswerID")).Text
