       {  
           try  
           {  
               if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)  
               { 
                   for (int colIndex = 0; colIndex < e.Row.Cells.Count; colIndex++)  
                   {  
                           int rowIndex = colIndex;
                           TextBox txtName = new TextBox();  
                           txtName.Width = 16; 
                           txtName.AutoPostBack = true;

You have to set the name:

txtName.Name = "txtName";    // or txtName.Name = "whatever";
