Question

I am using this code to give unique id to each row of GridView

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
   GridViewRow row = e.Row;
   if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
   {
      row.Attributes["id"] = cRowID.ToString();
      cRowID++;
   }   
}

where cRowID is global integer variable.
This code gives me HTML code as

<table id="gridview1">
 <tr id="1"><td>...</td></tr>
 <tr id="2"><td>...</td></tr>
  .
  .  
 <tr id="n"><td>...</td></tr>
</table>

How can I replace the cRowID with the specific column(say column1) value which is getting added to that same row?

EDIT
after adding the ID of tr tag in HTML I want it to become

<tr id="abc" ><td>abc</td><td>...</td></tr>
<tr id="pqr" ><td>pqr</td><td>...</td></tr>
<tr id="xyz" ><td>xyz</td><td>...</td></tr>

Is it possible? If yes, please explain how?

Tested Try this

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
  {
     int counter=1;
     foreach (GridViewRow oItem in GridView1.Rows)
     { 
        counter++;
        oItem.Cells[0].Text = counter.ToString();
        oItem.Attributes.Add("id", "yourvalue");//here you can set row id ie(<tr>)
     }
   }

Edited

foreach (GridViewRow oItem in GridView1.Rows)
     { 
        string getFirstColValue = oItem.Cells[0].Text;
        oItem.Attributes.Add("id", getFirstColvalue );
     }
