Dropdown in Gridview

Ballita

Hi, I have a gridview which contain dropdownlist in every row. And there is a Save button in that page. I want to save the dropdownlist's value on clicking on the save button. But I am getting an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Please look at the code I am using: foreach (GridViewRow rec in this.gvsqldesc.Controls[0].Controls) { DropDownList ddlval = new DropDownList(); ddlval = (DropDownList)rec.FindControl("ddlvalidation"); string str = ddlval.SelectedItem.Text; }

Thanks & Regards Mishra

Try something like this: foreach (GridViewRow rec in this.gvsqldesc.Rows) { string str = (DropDownList)rec.FindControl("ddlvalidation").SelectedItem.Text; } Here am assuming that the name of you gridview is 'gvsqldesc'. All the Best.
