How do I grab the value of hidden field on gridview?

This is really frustrating right now.

I have this hidden field on gridview markup:

<asp:TemplateField>
 <ItemTemplate>  
  <asp:HiddenField ID="dhide" Value='<%# Eval("shipDates","{0:M/dd/yyyy}") %>' runat="server" />
 </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Then on codebehind, I am trying to retrieve the value of dhide:

Sub cancelIt_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim objConnection As SqlConnection

Dim DLdates As HiddenField = DirectCast(GridView1.FindControl("dhide"), HiddenField)
Response.write (DLdates)

What am I doing wrong?

The NamingContainer of it is not the GridView but the GridViewRow where it sits.

So:

For Each row As GridViewRow In GridView1.Rows 
    Dim dhide = DirectCast(row.FindControl("dhide"), HiddenField)
    Dim shipDates = Date.ParseExact(dhide.Value, "M/dd/yyyy", Nothing)
    ' ...
Next
