For example, say Grid View has columns Order_no and Customer_Name. I have the customer name "ABC" and need to find the Order_no corresponding to this Customer; basically find this row. I found examples online of scanning through the Grid View. Is this the only approach? Or you can actually Search for the desired row?

You see, the DataTable is not in the scope in the method where I need to find the value. The Grid View is build dynamically from a dataset.datatable. But later, when user clicks on a button of a form, the Submit click only has the reference to the Grid View itself. So I need to get the value from the Grid View ID.
