:) which gridview event you are using.

DateTime startDate = Convert.ToDateTime(gvContract.DataKeys[e.CommandArgument].Value).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
or example,

string values = gvContract.DataKeys[Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument)].Value.ToString();
or,

int i = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
GridViewRow gvRow = GridView1.Rows[iIndex];        
string s = GridView1.DataKeys[i].Values["ID"].ToString().Trim();

 

But there is still error.This is the error:

Server Error in '/VRM_WebSite' Application.

Thks!

RowDataBound DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Value;
RowCommand   DataKeys[CurrentRow.RowIndex].Value;
RowUpdating  DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Value;
RowDeleting  DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Value;

gvContract.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Value ==> This will be always string.

Convert to DateTime

DateTime startDate = Convert.ToDateTime(gvContract.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Value).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

The error indiactes that: e.RowIndex does not exist. What do you mean by mm-dd--yy. The sq data type I am using is called: datetime. thks!

What error are you getting. Make sure the date format is MM/dd/yyyy format before converting.
