Dears,
How I can read the value of dropdownlist from grid view
for label column i read it as below
GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[1].Text.ToString();
but for the column have drop down list i cant read use this way
please help me
Thanks

i find the solution but when enter the value of dropdownlist to data base always take first value at index zero

Do you have preset values assigned in your database or are do you have them hardcoded within the control property?

DropDownList ddl = GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("DropDownListID") as DropDownList;

if(ddl !+ null)
{
Do stuff...
}

this will give you the dropdownlist you are looking for the you can grab the value, the text the ... whatever you need.

thanks you for this infromation
