• Thank you. This piece of short note helped me a lot.
  

• thanks for this needed
  

• More than one way to skin a cat I know; however I use
  
  ctype(sender, GridView).DataKeys(e.CommandArgument)
  
  Because e.CommandArgument is the row index that was clicked; and DataKeys is indexed so you can just look it up :)

• access the data of Gridview in Rowcommand using Template Field??
  

• Thanks a lot this will solve my problem...
  

• thanks for the code, helped me lot,
  

• I found it to be easier to add a Command Field (specifically a Select) rather than a button field. You can change the text and make it look like a button if you so wish. Then you can just use the gridview's SelectedIndexChanged event:
  
  Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged
  
  Dim Row As GridViewRow = GridView1.Rows(GridView1.SelectedIndex)
  lblName.Text = Row.Cells(0).Text
  lblAddress.Text = Row.Cells(1).Text
  '...or whatever you want to do with the info.
  
  End Sub

• Dear All,
  I have one problem .In my gridview i want to update the status of one field by clicking linkbutton .For that i used one event i.e RowCommand .And also i have the property allowpaging=true but when i perform paging RowCommand will fired.In that Event i have written come code .
  If you know the solution Please send me
  

• HemaLatha,
  
  Have you wrapped your code in the RowCommand event with a Select statement, If statement, or similar structure so that it only fires your code if your particular commandname is passed?
  
  So you would have something like this:
  
  Select Case e.CommandName
  Case "myfieldscommandname"
  'code to fire would go here
  End Select
  
  Doing this should mean that your code will only fire on your command, and not on all commands.

• Thanks. This one line code solved my problem.
  

• Thanks.Your article is very nice.
  

• This comment is in response to using a template column. On solution would be in the row command you could find the control by ID in the selected row. Below is an example of code that would go in the rowcommand event.
  
  Dim row As GridViewRow = CType(e.CommandSource, GridView).Rows(e.CommandArgument)
  Dim ckbTemp As CheckBox = CType(row.FindControl("ckbCheckboxID"), CheckBox)
  Dim lblTemp As Label = CType(row.FindControl("lblLabelID"), Label)
  
  If e.CommandName = "EDIT" Then
  
  lblLabelOnPage.Text = lblTemp.Text
  
  End if
