C# Gridview first row of data not returning

Question

I have a Gridview loaded from a database. The Gridview has BoundFields, Buttons, Textboxes, and Dropdown lists. If I select any row but the first row I am able to collect the data from that row. If I select the first row I can see the 0 being pasted to the Method. The Dropdown list and the Textboxes give me their data, but the BoundFields do not.

protected void GridViewListComp_RowUpdated(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
    {

        int grIndex = e.RowIndex;
        GridViewRow rowGr = GridViewListComp.Rows[grIndex];
        string txtFName = GridViewListComp.Rows[grIndex].Cells[0].Text;
        string txtLName = GridViewListComp.Rows[grIndex].Cells[1].Text;

        string txtPolicy = ((TextBox)GridViewListComp.Rows[grIndex].FindControl("txtPolicy")).Text; 

        DropDownList ddl = GridViewListComp.Rows[grIndex].FindControl("ddlStatus") as DropDownList;

        //gets the value of Status Dropdown list
        string valueStatus = ddl.SelectedValue.ToString(); //This gets the value of Status


        string txtPaidAmt = ((TextBox)GridViewListComp.Rows[grIndex].FindControl("PAID_AMT")).Text; 

Answer 1

Try...

string txtFName = ((TextBox)GridViewListComp.Rows[grIndex].Cells[0].Controls[0]).Text;

...repeat same template for others...
