I've been working in a project where we use the Gridview control very often.
In this particularly case I need to get a reference to the current row of a gridview, in order to get some values that exists in several columns of the same gridview.
If we take a look at the signature of the method:
protected void GridView\_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
you will notice that, at a first approach, in none of the parameters, we can get a reference to the current row.
Using the following single line of code, we can get a GridViewRow object referencing the current row.
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((Control)e.CommandSource).Parent.Parent;
The code above is not so elegant as I wish, but the world is not perfect as well. :)
We can now use the following code to get a reference to existing controls on the current GridView row.
DropDownList ddlPriority = row.FindControl("ddlPriority") as DropDownList;
int priorityID = ddlPriority != null ? Int32.Parse(ddlPriority.SelectedValue) : 0;
Problem fixed !!!
