How can I access SqlDataSource already selected data, if it is bind to a GridView?

Question

I have a GridView and a SqlDataSource. All binding done in aspx, works correctly and Select calls an SP with parameters.

Now I would like to access the bound data programmatically, in stuctured form, not parsing back it from the UI, using cells or .FindControl or other hacks. I also do not want to reselect the data using my SqlDataSource's Select.

I've debugged the code but can not find any structured data neither in my GridView variable neither in my SqlDataSource variable. Maybe I was browsing the wrong properties or a cast was missing.

Thx in advance

Please post some code. See SO help for how to ask questions here. Thanks! — mayabelle

I don't think you can do that. When you bind the data from an SQL DataSource to a Gridview, it fetches the data to display and then that's it. It's gone.

When a GridView updates the data, it uses the key field ID and the text in the GridView to do it. There is no other DataTable or other structure behind the scenes.
