However, from the other posts it seems you do not want to scan the GridView but do something like handling the GridView RowCommand Event and retrieve the relevant data directly from the GridView Row selected.

>>>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?
