"Specified argument was out of the range of valid values"

Question

I'm adding dynamic Rows in ASP.Net GridView Control with TextBoxes. But I'm getting the error below when I click on my Add New Row button.

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: index

What could be the error ?

Answer 1

It seems that you are trying to get 5 items out of a collection with 5 items. Looking at your code, it seems you're starting at the second value in your collection at position 1. Collections are zero-based, so you should start with the item at index 0. Try this:

TextBox box1 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[0].FindControl("txt_type");
TextBox box2 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[1].FindControl("txt_total");
TextBox box3 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[2].FindControl("txt_max");
TextBox box4 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[3].FindControl("txt_min");
TextBox box5 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[4].FindControl("txt_rate");

try this.

if (ViewState["CurrentTable"] != null)
            {
                DataTable dtCurrentTable = (DataTable)ViewState["CurrentTable"];
                DataRow drCurrentRow = null;
                if (dtCurrentTable.Rows.Count > 0)
                {
                    for (int i = 1; i <= dtCurrentTable.Rows.Count; i++)
                    {
                        //extract the TextBox values
                        TextBox box1 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[1].FindControl("txt_type");
                        TextBox box2 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[2].FindControl("txt_total");
                        TextBox box3 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[3].FindControl("txt_max");
                        TextBox box4 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[4].FindControl("txt_min");
                        TextBox box5 = (TextBox)Gridview1.Rows[i].Cells[5].FindControl("txt_rate");

                        drCurrentRow = dtCurrentTable.NewRow();
                        drCurrentRow["RowNumber"] = i + 1;

                        dtCurrentTable.Rows[i - 1]["Column1"] = box1.Text;
                        dtCurrentTable.Rows[i - 1]["Column2"] = box2.Text;
                        dtCurrentTable.Rows[i - 1]["Column3"] = box3.Text;
                        dtCurrentTable.Rows[i - 1]["Column4"] = box4.Text;
                        dtCurrentTable.Rows[i - 1]["Column5"] = box5.Text;

                        rowIndex++;
                    }
                    dtCurrentTable.Rows.Add(drCurrentRow);
                    ViewState["CurrentTable"] = dtCurrentTable;

                    Gridview1.DataSource = dtCurrentTable;
                    Gridview1.DataBind();
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Response.Write("ViewState is null");
            }
