ASP.net Gridview.. something weird - asp.net

I have a gridview and use a session to pass the variables from the page to an edit page. This works perfectly, until you search for a number. When you search the correct record displays in gridview, but when you click edit, it passes the wrong record.
Private Sub gridview1_RowEditing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowEditing
Session("wr_id") = GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(2).Text & "~\/~" & _
GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(3).Text & "~\/~" & _
GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(4).Text & "~\/~" & _
GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(5).Text & "~\/~" & _
GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(6).Text & "~\/~" & _
GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(7).Text & "~\/~" & _

I realize not all of the code is pasted in here, because it would take too much space. Any Ideas? I'm guessing it has something to do with e.NewEditIndex

Your code looks fine. Is Session("wr_id") the actual code, or is "wr_id" mock-up code?
The reason I ask is because session values can either be accessed by a string or an index.
Session("id") will access the session variable with the "id" key
Session(8) will access the 9th element in the session
If you have code using Session(selectedID) and selectedID is a populated object variable, you will change the way you are accessing the session variables depending on whether selectedID is a number or a string
Update:
Look to see if you are binding anywhere else in your code (e.g. your Page_Load event). There is a good chance that you are re-binding the grid with new data before the control's edit event can fire

The solution to the problem was wrapping the pageload in a if, ispostback statement. Thank you for your help rkw.

Retrieving values from dynamically created controls

First post, so go easy on me.
I've been coding for years, first with VB6, then VB.NET and more recently ASP.NET. I'm ashamed to say, this issue has beaten me to the point where I need to ask for help. What's more annoying is that this should be a simple thing to achieve! I'm clearly missing something here.
I'm creating checkbox controls dynamically, quite a few of them in fact. Two per dynamically created table row and their IDs are appended with the ID of the particular DB record on the row, row 1, 2, 3 etc. So on each row there would be two checkboxes, ihave_check_1, ineed_check_1. The next row would be ihave_check_2 and ineed_check_2 and so on.
There is a submit button at the bottom of the page, and when clicked, it's supposed to loop through each row (and cell) in the table and pick out controls whose IDs contain "ihave_check_" and "ineed_check_" then get their Checked value. Once I have the values, I add a record into the database.
Problem is, when you click the button, the table disappears and so do the values.
From what I've read so far, this is happening because the controls are dynamically created, if they were static (coded in the HTML section) I wouldn't have this problem.
So first question, what do I need to do to get it working?
And second question, why is using dynamic controls so difficult?
Here's the code setting up the table, which works great:
Private Sub ddCardSeries_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ddCardSeries.SelectedIndexChanged
If IsPostBack = True And Not ddCardSeries.SelectedValue = "Select..." Then
cardsTable.Visible = True
Dim dat As New DataLayer3.DataConnector
dat.DataConnector("Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=192.XXX.XXX.XXX;Database=GPKDB;User Id=sa;Password=XXXXXXXXXXX;")
Dim dtSections As New DataTable
dtSections = dat.DataSelect("SELECT baseCardID,baseCardSeries,baseCardNumber,baseCardName,frontArtist,conceptArtist,backArtist,backWriter,isBaseCard,isDieCut,isMatte,isGlossy,differentBack,frontImage,backImage FROM baseCards where baseCardSeries = '" & Split(Split(ddCardSeries.Text, "(ID:")(1), ")")(0) & "' and isBaseCard = 'Yes'")
If dtSections.Rows.Count > 0 Then
For i As Integer = 0 To dtSections.Rows.Count - 1
Dim row As New TableRow
For x = 0 To dtSections.Columns.Count - 1
Dim cell1 As New TableCell
If Not IsDBNull(dtSections.Rows(i)(x)) Then
If x = 0 Then
cell1.Text = dtSections.Rows(i)(x)
ElseIf x = 1 Then
cell1.Text = get_card_series(dtSections.Rows(i)(x))
ElseIf x = 13 Then
cell1.Text = "<img src='" & dtSections.Rows(i)(x) & "' height='120'"
ElseIf x = 14 Then
cell1.Text = "<img src='" & dtSections.Rows(i)(x) & "' height='120'"
Else
cell1.Text = dtSections.Rows(i)(x)
End If
Else
cell1.Text = ""
End If
row.Cells.Add(cell1)
Next x
Dim newbutton As New Button
Dim newlabel As New Label
newlabel.Text = "<br />"
newbutton.Text = "Modify this entry"
newbutton.Width = 120
newbutton.ID = "modify_button_" & dtSections.Rows(i)(0)
Dim newcheck1 As New CheckBox
Dim newlabel2 As New Label
newlabel2.Text = "<br />"
newcheck1.Text = "I own this card"
newcheck1.Width = 120
newcheck1.ID = "ihave_check_" & dtSections.Rows(i)(0)
Dim newcheck2 As New CheckBox
newcheck2.Text = "I need this card"
newcheck2.Width = 120
newcheck2.ID = "ineed_check_" & dtSections.Rows(i)(0)
Dim cell2 As New TableCell
If is_user_admin() = True Then
newbutton.Enabled = True
Else
newbutton.Enabled = False
End If
cell2.Controls.Add(newbutton)
cell2.Controls.Add(newlabel)
cell2.Controls.Add(newcheck1)
cell2.Controls.Add(newlabel2)
cell2.Controls.Add(newcheck2)
row.Cells.Add(cell2)
cardsTable.Rows.Add(row)
Next
End If
Else
cardsTable.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Here's the code that loops through the table and tries to save the results to the database:
Protected Sub SubmitChanges_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles SubmitChanges.Click
For Each pcontrol As control In Page.Controls
Dim havecard As String = Nothing

Dim dtCardSeries As New DataTable
dtCardSeries = dat.DataSelect("select CardID from [" & userid & "_cards] where cardid = '" & cardid & "'")
If dtCardSeries.Rows.Count > 0 Then

End If
dat.DataInsert("insert into [" & userid & "_cards] (Username,CardID,Own,Need) values ('" & userid & "', '" & cardid & "', '" & own & "', '" & need & "');")
Return True
Catch ex As Exception
Return False
End Try
End Function
Any help at this point would be gratefully received.
Thanks!

Get all selected values of CheckBoxList in VB.NET

I've used ASP's CheckBoxList control. Now what I want is to get the all selected values in VB code.
HTML
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="chkbxlst_Users" runat="server" RepeatColumns="2" RepeatDirection="Vertical" RepeatLayout="Table"></asp:CheckBoxList>
VB
Protected Sub btnSaveSetProject_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSaveSetProject.Click
Dim ds_selectedProjects As New DataSet
Dim eStr As String = String.Empty
Try
Catch ex As Exception
Me.ShowErrorMessage(ex.Message, "...btnSaveSetProject")
End Try
End Sub
On this Save button's click I want to get all the selected items' value and text in dataset.
try this..
For Each li As ListItem In chkbxlst_Users.Items
If li.Selected Then
// add item data into your dataset
Else
// do whatever you need
End If
End If

You can try following code:

Next
ds_selectedProjects.Tables.Add(dt)
Catch ex As Exception
'Me.ShowErrorMessage(ex.Message, "...btnSaveSetProject")

End Sub
Try this code
Dim ds_selectedProjects As New DataSet

dt_selectedProjects.Columns.Add("Text")
Dim dr As DataRow
For i = 0 To chkbxlst_Users.Items.Count - 1

End If
Next

Try this
Dim str As [String] = ""

DataTable Filter mystery

could you please help me find the reason of the mystery I've found?
In the below code, I create a DataTable and filter it. When I use filter1, everything works as expected.
When I use filter2, everything works as expected only if the SubsectionAmount variable is less than 10.
As soon as I set SubsectionAmount=10, the dr2 array returns Nothing.
I can't find what is wrong. Here is the code:

Response.Write(dr2(0).Item("FieldString").ToString & "<BR>")
End If
End With
End Sub
End Class
The line
"Section=" & SectionID & " AND " & "Subsection=" & SubsectionID + 1
looks dodgy to me (?)
Consider this snippet of code:
var i = 2;
string j = "Hello " + i + 1;
when you print j you will get "Hello21" and not "Hello3". The + operator applied on a string will accept any object on the right-hand side and uses them by calling ToString() on the object, hence making your int effectively a string. Now, I assume that in VB.Net it is quite similar, which may not be what you want.
Update
Apparently VB.Net does things differently, so happily ignore...
change your column add statements to the following so it does the comparisons correctly.
.Columns.Add("Section", GetType(Integer))
.Columns.Add("Subsection", GetType(Integer))
.Columns.Add("FieldString")
