getting gridview row number when a template button is selected

[=?Utf-8?B?UGF1bA==?=]

Hi I have a gridview with one of the columns as a template column with a
button. When the user selects the button is there a way to get the row
number in the button_Click event? Another one of the columns is a template
column that has a label that I have displaying the row number.
Thanks

Hi,

Assign the button a commandname...
and subscribe the rowcommand event of gridview...
void CustomersGridVi ew_RowCommand(O bject sender,
GridViewCommand EventArgs e)
{
// If multiple buttons are used in a GridView control, use the
// CommandName property to determine which button was clicked.
if(e.CommandNam e=="Add")
{
// Convert the row index stored in the CommandArgument
// property to an Integer.
int index = Convert.ToInt32 (e.CommandArgum ent);

// Retrieve the row that contains the button clicked
// by the user from the Rows collection.
GridViewRow row = CustomersGridVi ew.Rows[index];
}

BEST OF LUCK

Hi thanks for the response. I only have one button. I added the code to the
rowcommand but the event does not fire when the button is selected, perhaps
it is because my button is a template field.

You have to add: onRowCommand="G ridView_RowComm and" to the GridView
asp for it to recognize the RowCommand event.
