How to fetch data from gridview row that is selected?

I'm trying to fetch the data from the gridview according to the row I select for deletion.

I tried this,

string fileName = grdUploadedFiles.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].ToString();

but it shows the string,

System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlFieldCell

What exactly can I do to fetch the filename that I have inserted to the gridview.

Also, this field is not the DataKey.

Here is an example from MSDN:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<script runat="server">

    void CustomersGridView_RowDeleting
        (Object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
    {
        TableCell cell = CustomersGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2];
        if (cell.Text == "Beaver")
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
            Message.Text = "You cannot delete customer Beaver.";
        }
        else
        {
            Message.Text = "";
        }
    }  

</script>

If your cell not contain any control like label then try this

string fileName = grdUploadedFiles.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Text;

You should be calling .Text for the value, per MSDN documentation.

Generally speaking .ToString is overridden by default for Value types. Reference types generally don't override .ToSting with their "values" (what you would commonly access when calling that class).
