Found some sample for the first part, though now I see that it's a very strange code (I haven't written it)

        protected void SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            String ProgramID = this.GridView2.Rows[GridView2.SelectedIndex].Cells[0].Text;

            ProgramID = this.GridView2.Rows[GridView2.SelectedIndex].Cells[1].Text;


            ProgramID = this.GridView2.Rows[GridView2.SelectedIndex].Cells[2].Text;

>OK, how do you do that?
>Like I said, I'm a total newbie.
>Currently I have this in the gridview select
>

>    Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged
>        Response.Redirect("edituser.aspx")
>    End Sub
>

>>>As a .NET total newbie, can someone tell me how to capture a value from the preceeding page control? Something like :
