gridview row command

NH
How do I find out the row index selected in the gridveiw row command method?

I have an imageButton in a gridview cell and its corresponding code in the
row command method needs to know the row index in question in order to set
the background of the cell to a different color. But the selectedIndex value
doesnt return a value as expected.

Is there something I am missing?

You can use the SelectedDataKey property to retrieve the DataKey object for
the currently selected row. You can also use the SelectedValue property to
retrieve the data key value for the currently selected row directly.

not?
Search for the row with the same id and you'll know the row, right?
(row.FindContro l("imagebutton" ) for the imagebutton or search for the cell
where the imagebutton is in.

The SelectedDataKey only holds the datakey of the datasource, this is not the
same as the row index, the datakey could be a customerID which is not going
to be the same as the row index. Or am I mistaken?

No you are right, sorry
What I always do is that I have a column (visible = false) with the unique
record ID.
With that I can find the row which was selected.
I was in the wrong assumpsion you did that also.

Hello, I am trying to get add a product to a cart from a gridview control when a button in the gridview is clicked. I have a book on how to do this in asp.net 2.0 but it is done by specifying the "DataTextField" as the productID of the product that I want to add. This works but the button displays the productID as the text instead of "Add to Cart". What is the best way to get this to work?

I've been googling for some time, and could not find the solution to this problem. I am testing the paging feature of gridview. I have a very simple web form on which the user can select a few fields to be included in the table, which is to be bound to the gridview. The web form looks like so (Don't worry about the stupidity of this web form for now.):
