>>>>>Hi,

>>>>>I have ASP.NET Grid View on ASPX page bound to a dataset/table. I need to find a value of one column by the value of another column. 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.

GridView.DataSource?
