Suchitra,

I remember i already replied your same post couple of days ago.

On SelectedIndexChanged you cannot call this property. Change your code like below.
```
strv1 = GridView1.Rows[GridView1.SelectedIndex].Cells[1].Text;
```

Suthish said "you need to use GridViewRow class", and that is very easy to see if you "look at the GridView.SelectedRow Property's documentation" as I said. The SelectedRow Property returns a GridViewRow but your code was assigning the SelectedRow Property to a GridView not a GridViewRow.

Because you need to use GridViewRow class

GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
strv1 = row.Cells[1].Text;

for example if you are calling any dataset then you have to recive the result in dataset only just like that.
Dataset ds=method.Dataset();
same as GridViewRow row= GridView1.SelectedRow;

Just look at the GridView.SelectedRow Property's documentation; what does it return?
