Hi, Thank you so much for your reply. I tried your coding but it can't work. "Label is a type and cannot be used as an expression" I have converted the button into a template field. I have placed the codings in the button click event: Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Best Regards, Aaron

Hi all, I would like to get the value of a label from the same row after clicking the delete button. I converted the delete button into a template field and tried the following code Dim a As String = "" a = CType(GridView1.FindControl("label1"), Label).Text It gives me an error saying that object reference not found, and use the NEW keyword to declare a new object instance. I tried declaring NEW on string but gives me an error. What should I do? Best Regards, Aaron Neo

HI, Thank you so much for your wonderful reply. I still can't get it to work..The user changes the category from the category Combobox and I need it to update the selected category to the database. The rest of the fields in the editing mode are textboxes, so there are no problem with updating them. The bind command doesn't work as it says categoryName can't be found? Without the bind and inputing @categoryname doesn't reflect the selected comboxItem...I tried controlParameter under the updateParameter but it doesn't work as well...I am so lost....

Hi guys, Thanks for the help previously for helping me to display combobox in editItem mode. I have a followup question, which is how do i update my database if the user had changed the value there? And how do i set the combobox to show the retreive value from the database ? Thank you everyone....;) AaronNeo

Thank you so much for your help. I am quite new to asp.net so i may be asking some silly questions. Can I ask you another question? When I enter editing mode, how do i set the value of the combobox to the record in my database. If the user changes it, how do get the value of the combobox and update it back to the database ?

Hi Everyone, I would like to know how am I able to access the templateField I created in my GridView, which I set it to invisible initially, to make it visible when user click on the EDIT button and subsequently update into the database for the selected value.
