Hello,

You can add the controls in ItemCreated event and access in an external button click event as shown below.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
   {
     GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
     TextBox txt = new TextBox();
     txt.ID = "TextBox1";
     item["TemplateColumn"].Controls.Add(txt);
   }
}
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.Items)
  {
      TextBox txt = (TextBox)item.FindControl("TextBox1");
      string value = txt.Text;
  }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks this is working.

I am facing one more issue.

1. I have two rad grids
2. I drag selected item from "radgrid1" and drop it to "radgrid2"
3. Whenever i drop item to "radgrid2" already existing items get refresh.(Every item/row having textbox control whatever entered value in textbox gets empty after dropping new item)

Hello Shradha,

Could you please check out the following demo and verify that the problem could be reproduced using it?
 Grid / Items Drag-and-drop

One possible approach would be to save the entered text in the created Session or ViewState, or create a new Session to hold a HashTable with the DataKeyID of the row and the current text of the related textbox. Therefore, you will be able to restore the entered text by traversing the items as demonstrated in the first reply.

I hope this helps.
