Hi,

I am totally new to [asp.net/vb.net](http://asp.net/vb.net) and working on an existing website. I am not very familiar with data binding. I have a list of products, quantities and price displayed using a GridView control. But instead of using a gridview or something else displayed on the page, I would like to get the same data inside a [vb.net](http://vb.net) sub of the same page as a simple string to send it as an email body. The sub would be triggered on click and bind the data to a string at that moment only.  
I figured out how to send the email etc, but I can’t seem to grasp how to perform the same thing than “Gridview” but just to make simple variables and add them to a string ( +=).

Thanks for your help
