Shopping Cart does read textbox value from gridview

I have a gridview with a selection of databound items as well as a textbox and a button, the purpose of the textbox is to allow the user to enter the quantity required and then click on the button which will save the data and show the shopping cart. The textbox is in a itemtemplate tag, and the client doesn't want to select the row (ie edit mode) then add the value.

The problem is I can't get access to the textbox value I either get no value or an "object reference not found error" Surely there is some way of doing this? I have tried various methods ie :-
Dim tmpqty As TextBox = Me.GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(4).Controls(0)
Dim tmpqty As TextBox = CType(Me.GridView1.FindControl("TextBox1"), TextBox)
etc
in various events BUT NOTHING WORKS HELP!!!

Private Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged

        Dim tmpqty As TextBox = CType(Me.GridView1.SelectedRow.FindControl("TextBox1"), TextBox)
        Response.Redirect("orderdetail.aspx?qty=" & tmpqty.Text)
   
End Sub
