Reading Data from Data Grid View

I have filled a datagridview with datasource, my SQL query is in it. I didn't use a storedprocedure or anything like that. It displays data well but I couldn't use data from gridview. For example, gridview1.selectedRow.cells[0].Text and similar methods is not working? Is there anybody can help me about this?

<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" />
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
    <ContentTemplate>
    <h3>Gridview with Filtering</h3>
        <div class="GridviewDiv">
        <table style="width: 540px" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" class="GridviewTable">
            <tr >
                <td style="width: 40px;">
                    ID
                </td>
                <td style="width: 120px;" >
                    First Name
                </td>
                <td style="width: 120px;">
                    Last Name
                </td>
                <td style="width: 130px;">
                    Department
                </td>
                <td style="width: 130px;">

if you use SelectionChanged event of datagrid. then u can try it 

    private void dataGrid1_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
            {
                object item = dataGrid1.SelectedItem;
                txtRegId.Text = (dataGrid1.SelectedCells[0].Column.GetCellContent(item) as TextBlock).Text;
                MessageBox.Show(txtName.Text);
            }

You have to use post back events and parameters to get the selected value.

using the Column Names

dataGridView.Rows[4].Cells["Name"].Value.ToString();

if you want to iterate through each row then,

foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGrid.Rows)
    {

         foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)
        {
            string value = cell.Value.ToString();

        }
    }

Also, you can do the following to achieve what you want

string name = (string)dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Cells[0].Value;
