Gridview - Pull value from one cell in one row

Hi, I'm a newbie and I'm looking for some help.  I'm programming in 
VB.Net.

      I have a simple gridview and when the user hits the Edit link, the 
gridview changes to edit mode.  I replaced the Textboxes with labels and I 
turn off the Update command because I want to write my own update command. 
I can not figure out how to pull the value from a cell in the row the user 
hit Edit on.

      Example: User hits edit on row 10 and the value I want to pull in in 
column 5 and is a Label with the ID of AnswerID.  How do I get that value. 
This is what I've tried and it didn't work.

      Gridview.findcontrol("AnswerID").tostring


      Thanks!

someone answered this at another group

To get the content, use (VB.NET)
CType(Gridview.Rows(GridView.EditIndex).Cells(5).FindControl("AnswerID"),Label).Text
In C#:
((Label)Gridview.Rows(GridView.EditIndex).Cells(5).FindControl("AnswerID")).Text
