"SelectedRow" property doesn't work in th RowCommand event becoz it doesn't know which row in curently selected in the Row_Command event. As far as I know this property only works in SelectedIndexChanged & SelectedIndexChaning events.So in order to get the index of the row in Row Command event,try use this...

protected void gvEmp_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "email")
{
int indRow = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument); //e.CommandArgument gives the index of the row.
GridViewRow gvr = gvEmp.Rows[indRow];
Response.Write(“Email sent to: “ + gvr.Cells[1].Text);
}
}
