Hi ....

Why I can't  specifies the row in the ( RowEditing ) Event or ( RowDeleting) event ?.. Like in the ( SelectedIndexChanged ) event ?

In the SelectIndexChanged event I can get the data in the row that I select

but in the other event like RowEditing or RowDeleting I get the data in the first row only .........Why ?

I hope that you understand me ......... thanx

For RowEditing event, you should look in the GridViewEditEventArgs parameter, it contains a property called NewEditIndex which reflects the row id of the row being edited. You can use the property like this:

void CustomersGridView_RowEditing(Object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{
  String country = CustomersGridView.Rows[e.NewEditIndex].Cells[6].Text;
  if (country == "USA")
  {
    // Cancel the edit operation.
    e.Cancel = true;
    Message.Text = "You cannot edit this record.";
  }
  else
  {
    Message.Text = "";
  }
}

[Full code at MSDN: GridView.RowEditing Event]

Similarly, there's a GridViewDeleteEventArgs available in the RowDeleting event method that contains a RowIndex property.

Have you tried

string str =  GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text;

Hello Fawaz,

In RowEditing event you may use following code to get the cell content:

this.GridView1.Rows[GridView1.EditIndex].Cells

Similarly other events can be used
