How to get values from template fields in GridView?

Question

This is my markup of GridView.

Answer 1

{cell}.Text will only work if there isn't a control within the TemplateField. You have added a label to your template which is why you first need to find the control, cast your object to the control and access the control's properties as needed.

If you want a more generic approach you could always do the following (remove the label control and simply add the evaluated field):

    
        
            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Customer.Name")%>
        
     
     
         
             <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Pickuppoint")%>
         
     

When you use the code you initially used, the {cell}.Text should no longer return empty.
