do it like this<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dim iSelectedRow As Integer = 2<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; gv.SelectedIndex = iSelectedRow<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Label1.Text = &nbsp;gv.SelectedRow.Cells(6).Te<wbr />xt
</div>


do it like this

        Dim iSelectedRow As Integer = 2
        gv.SelectedIndex = iSelectedRow
        Label1.Text =  gv.SelectedRow.Cells(6).Text

<div>
Being a selected row is not relevant.<br />
<br />
I discovered the solution, setup a CSS style (i.e. NoVisibleText) that is &quot;display:none&quot; -- assign the CSSClass for each of the column properties (i.e. ControlStyle.CSSClass = NoVisibleText, ItemStyle.CSSClass = NoVisibleText, HeaderStyle.CSSClass = NoVisibleText, FooterStyle.CSSClass = NoVisibleText) -- Keep the Column Visible property = True (this must be true or the cell value can never be retreived).<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm trying to retrieve a value I placed in a grid view column that is set to NOT visible:<br />
<br />
gv_Units is the GridView control<br />
<br />
Dim gvRow As GridViewRow<br />
For Each gvRow In gv_Units.Rows<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Dim someValue as string = gvRow.Cells(6).Text<br />
<br />
Next gvRow<br />
<br />
If column 6 is not visible SomeValue = &quot;&quot;<br />
If column 6 is visible SomeValue = &quot;myvalue&quot;<br />
<br />
Is this a known bug with GridView? &nbsp;Please tell me this is NOT a &quot;design feature&quot;. &nbsp;Any workarounds?<br />
<br />
Thanks, Rob.<br />
