I am using the Gridview_RowCommand and can get a correct index for what row it is on.  I need to grab the datakey value though for that row.  I have declared the DataKeyName in the design source view.  How do I get the datakey value.  It seems like you could code:

 gv.rows(convert.toint32(e.commandargument)).datakeys(some index for the datakey).value

but this isn't available.  The datakeys is only available to the gridview, so how do I associate it with a row?

I could have this primary key databound and visible in the gridview and then pull the value from the gridview, but I don't really need it to be visible.

Any ideas?  Thanks.

the selected datakey corresponds to the selectedIndex, so if you need a specific datakey you could set the index to current row

Gridview1.SelectedIndex = e.CommandArgument
Dim item As String = Gridview1.SelectedDataKey(0)

 

 

object myDataKey = GridView1.DataKeys[MyRowIndex]["MyFieldName"];

 Can try this:

 

Eg:

if (e.CommandName == "Show")
{
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((Control)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer;
int DemoId = Convert.ToInt32(gvdemo.DataKeys[row.RowIndex].Value);
//You will get id here.....You code goes Here....
}
else if (e.CommandName == "Select1")
{
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((Control)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer;
int DemoId = Convert.ToInt32(gvdemo.DataKeys[row.RowIndex].Value);
//You will get id here.....You code goes Here....
}
}
