Hi,

You can retrieve the value in itemdatabound event as shown below.
c#

protected void grid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Detailtable1")
  {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            Label lbl = (Label)item.FindControl("lblDescription");
   }
}

Thanks,
Shinu
