<tr>
<td align="left" style="width: 80px">
<asp:Label ID="lbltitle" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("sFName")%>'></asp:Label>

what about handling RowDataBound event If you are handling RowDataBound event, it's like this:

    protected void GridView2_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        ImageButton date = (ImageButton)e.Row.FindControl("ModifyLnk");

    }
}

or

    foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView2.Rows)
    {
        if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            ImageButton date = row.FindControl("ModifyLnk") as ImageButton;
        }
    }

2 ways:

First by RowDataBound

protected void GridView2_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            ImageButton imgButton = e.Row.FindControl("ModifyLnk") as ImageButton;
        }
    }

Second: By Page_Load:

foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView2.Rows)
{
    if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        ImageButton date = row.FindControl("ModifyLnk") as ImageButton;
    }
}
