finding label in itemTemplate and bind data from code behind

I wanted to display value in a label (label inside itemTemplate)

i have tried this approach

string s = null;
SelfCollectNameSpace.SelfCollect address = new SelfCollectNameSpace.SelfCollect();

s = address.getSelfCollectAddress(orderNoTracking);

    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(s) == false)
    {
        foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
        {
            string LabelText = ((Label)row.FindControl("labelSelf")).Text;
            LabelText = s;
            Response.Write(LabelText+"test");
        }
     }

but nothing is shown in the label inside the gridview. IT should display the value of s.

Next approach was

    string s = null;
    SelfCollectNameSpace.SelfCollect address = new SelfCollectNameSpace.SelfCollect();
    s = address.getSelfCollectAddress(orderNoTracking);

       Label labelSelfCollect = GridView1.FindControl("labelSelf") as Label;
       labelSelfCollect.Text = "Self Collect at "+ s;

I got this error

    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

and the last approach that i have used is 

    string s = null;
    SelfCollectNameSpace.SelfCollect address = new SelfCollectNameSpace.SelfCollect();
    s = address.getSelfCollectAddress(orderNoTracking);
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(s) == false)
    {
        foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
        {
            if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
            {
                Label labelcollect = row.FindControl("labelSelf") as Label;
                labelcollect.Text = "self collect at "+ s;
            }             
        }           

    }

using this method also it shows nothing.How should i assign the s value into this labelSelf(label inside itemTemplate)?

my aspx code

              <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="772px" style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left"  Height="100px"  DataKeyNames ="progressID" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_OnRowDataBound" OnRowDeleting="GridView1_RowDeleting" CellPadding="4" CssClass="rounded_corners" HeaderStyle-Height="40px">

Use GridView1_OnRowDataBound instead of foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows). Apart from that your first approach is correct. You're simply not assigning the Text property there but reading from it. 

SelfCollectNameSpace.SelfCollect address = new SelfCollectNameSpace.SelfCollect();

protected void MyGrid_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
  if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
  {
      Label labelSelf = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("labelSelf");
      labelSelf.Text = address.getSelfCollectAddress(orderNoTracking); // maybe you need to retrieve the orderNoTracking from another control in this row or from it's datasource
  }
}
