Hi All,
I have delete button control in gridview when i press that button it will update the status of that row to deleted and change its background color to red. i have used following code in RowCommand event

protected void GridView_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.CommandName == "Delete")
               {
                  dgvJV.RowStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;
               }
       }

... but it changes the whole gridview to red .. so I guess I need to get row index.. How can I do that in RowCommand Event?

thanks in Advance

add command argument to delete button like below..

C#

CommandArgument='<%# Container.DataItemIndex%>'

it will assign your row index to command argument.
Access this row index in row command event & try something like this..

C#

protected void GridView_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
        {

            if (e.CommandName == "Delete")
            {
                   int index = e.CommandArgument;
                   GridViewRow deletedRow= MyGridView.Rows[index];
                   deletedRow.BackColor= Color.Red;

            }
        }

Try this:

C#

protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
    {
      
            if (e.CommandName == "Delete")
            {
          

                GridViewRow selectedRow = (GridViewRow)((ImageButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer;
                int RowIndexx = Convert.ToInt32(selectedRow.RowIndex);

                GridView1.Rows[RowIndexx].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;

           }
}
