Question

I have a datagrid in asp.net, with a boundfield. On the RowCommand event, I want to get the value of this boundfield. The boundfield, in the columns tag, loooks as below:

<asp:BoundField DataField="LoginID" HeaderText="LoginID" InsertVisible="False" 
                ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="LoginID" />

What would the accompanying C# be?

Thanks

In the Row_Command Event you can retrieve the index of the clicked Row in this way :

 void GridView_RowCommand(Object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
  {

    //Check if it's the right CommandName... 
    if(e.CommandName=="Add")
    {
      //Get the Row Index
      int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

      // Retrieve the row
      GridViewRow row = ContactsGridView.Rows[index];

      // Here you can access the Row Cells 
      row.Cells[1].Text

    }
  }
