Question

I am trying to find a DropDown element in the GridView_RowCommand but it says that GridViewCommandEventArgs does not contain a definituon for ‘Row’. I need to do this in this event because i am evaluating a GridView Command. See failing code below

protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.CommandName == "Add")
  {
    DropDownList Myddl = null;
    ClientClass client = new ClientClass();

    Myddl = e.Row.FindControl("ddlClients") as DropDownList;
    if (Myddl != null)
       {
         updated = client.InsertUpdateClient(ClientID, 
           int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString()), departmentID);
        }
    else
      { 
        Labels.Text = "There was an error updating this client";
       }
    }
}

Something like this:

GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)(((LinkButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer); 

This is assuming what’s firing off the RowCommand is a LinkButton. Change that according.
