You can use the hyperlinkfield for the GridView, which can define querystring parameters and bind them from the database. Check out this tutorial.

An example taken from the site:

<asp:HyperLinkField 
      DataTextField="UnitPrice" 
      DataTextFormatString="GBP {0}" 
      DataNavigateUrlFields="ProductID" HeaderText="Unit Price"
      DataNavigateUrlFormatString="ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID={0}"   />
