Hi,

Every row will have the unique id of the control. So no need to find by cells and also not good practice. Because when you do so many design changes the cell position may change.

protected void btninsert_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strAppendText = string.Empty;
for (int i = 0; i <= Gridview1.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
TextBox txt1 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].FindControl("TextBox1");
strAppendText += txt1.Text+ " ";
}

lblAppendText.Text = strAppendText;
}

As you're overwriting 'str' each time through the loop it will end up being set to the Text property of the TextBox in the final row.

I'd try instead:

string str = "";

for (int i = 0; i <= Gridview1.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
TextBox txt1 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[2].FindControl("TextBox1");
str += txt1.Text + "
";
}

Label1.Text = str; // or however you want to display it
