Can't get row values from GridView

This is the loop I'm using. I get the correct number of rows and columns back, so I'm assuming I'm binding correctly.

However Text is always empty. Why?

for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
{
    for (int k = 0; k < GridView1.Columns.Count; k++)
    {
        string cellText = GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[k].Text;
    }
}

I have found a few pointers but they don't help.

Edit 1

This is my GridView with one record

enter image description here

The only empty value is under Responsibility.

From Ehsan Sajjad's answer below, I understand that my code would always get the last value, i.e. "Classics".

Is that correct?

If it is, then why am I getting empty Text for all columns?

Edit 2

I've solved it myself. Thanks to those who helped in this thread. See my own answer below.

My gridview was using DynamicFields.

The solution was simply to replace all my DynamicFields with standard BoundFields and BOOM all the data was there.

Next time I won't be using DynamicData framework, that's for sure.

On this other thread you can find the complete scenario of my original problem.

Try this

string cellText = "";

for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
{
    for (int k = 0; k < GridView1.Rows[i].Cells.Count; k++)
    {
        cellText += GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[k].Text;
    }
}

your answer lies in the link which you mentioned in you question, your cells might have controls inside it try accessing it with the help of row.Cells[1].Controls collection. lastly set a break point in loop and check are you able to get into the second loop ? i tried loading gridview with the help of SqlDataSource and tried to access value like you did and i were not able to get into the second loop. perhaps this link might help you. How to get the value of a cell specifies the GridView ASP.NET

Easisest way is to use : 

foreach(GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
{
for(int i = 0; i < GridView1.Columns.Count, i++)
{

    String cellText = row.Cells[i].Text;
}
}
