Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Gets a collection of GridViewRow objects that represent the data rows in a GridView control.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Rows As GridViewRowCollection
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As GridView
Dim value As GridViewRowCollection

value = instance.Rows
C#
public virtual GridViewRowCollection Rows { get; }
C++
public:
virtual property GridViewRowCollection^ Rows {
    GridViewRowCollection^ get ();
}
J#
/** @property */
public GridViewRowCollection get_Rows ()
JScript
public function get Rows () : GridViewRowCollection

Property Value

A GridViewRowCollection that contains all the data rows in a GridView control.
Remarks

The Rows property (collection) is used to store the data rows in a GridView control. The GridView control automatically populates the Rows collection by creating a GridViewRow object for each record in the data source and then adding each object to the collection. This property is commonly used to access a specific row in the control or to iterate though the entire collection of rows.

NoteNote

Only rows with their RowType property set to DataControlRowType.DataRow are stored in the Rows collection. The GridViewRow objects that represent the header, footer, and pager rows are not included in the collection.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Rows collection to access the row being edited in a GridView control. After a row is updated, a message is displayed to indicate that the update was successful.

Visual Basic
<%@ Page language="VB" %>

<script runat="server">

  Sub CustomersGridView_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewCommandEventArgs)
    
    ' Clear the message label when the user enters edit mode.
    If e.CommandName = "Edit" Then
      Message.Text = ""
    End If
    
  End Sub
  
  Sub CustomersGridView_RowUpdated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewUpdatedEventArgs)
   
    ' The update operation was successful. Retrieve the row being edited.
    Dim index As Integer = CustomersGridView.EditIndex
    Dim row As GridViewRow = CustomersGridView.Rows(index)
        
    ' Notify the user that the update was successful.
    Message.Text = "Updated record " & row.Cells(1).Text + "."
    
  End Sub

  Sub CustomersGridView_RowCancelingEdit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewCancelEditEventArgs)
   
    ' The update operation was canceled. Display the appropriate message.
    Message.Text = "Update operation canceled."
    
  End Sub
