Hi Tanuj,

You should do like this:

```
protected void ImageButton_enable_Click(object sender,ImageClickEventArgs e){   
foreach(GridViewRow gvrow in GridView_enable.Rows)    {        CheckBox chk1=gvrow.FindControl("CheckBox_select") as CheckBox;        if (chk1 !=null && chk1.Checked == true)        {            Label lblEmail = gvrow.FindControl("Label1") as Label;            if(lblEmail != null)                
Console.WriteLine(lblEmail.Text);        }     }}
```
