How to track a specific Button from gridview

I have a gridview with template button in it each row
each button fires an Onclick event.
i need to track the row of the pressed button.
if i want , lets say colorize the background , how should i do it?
<asp:GridView ID="OrdersGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Delete">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="DeleteOrder" runat="server" BackColor="Red" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" Text="מחק" OnClick="DeleteOrder_Click" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="OrderHost" HeaderText="OrderName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="OrderId" Visible="False" />
</Columns>
<EditRowStyle BackColor="#2461BF" />
<FooterStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#2461BF" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#EFF3FB" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#D1DDF1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
<SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#F5F7FB" />
<SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#6D95E1" />
<SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#E9EBEF" />
<SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#4870BE" />
</asp:GridView>
The event is empty.
protected void DeleteOrder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

Based from your comment, you just want to get the index of your GridView.
protected void DeleteOrder_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Button btn = (Button)sender;
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)btn.NamingContainer;
//Get the Row Index by calling row.RowIndex;
}
Hope it helps!

gridview disappears after changing the page

I have a gridview that should split into pages but the issue is that when I change the page the whole gridview is disappearing I tried everything I found in the internet but with no solution here is my code
<asp:GridView ID="ExistContents" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None"
AllowPaging="true" PageSize="5" OnPageIndexChanging="ExistContents_PageIndexChanging" >
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ContentID" HeaderText="id" />
<asp:ImageField DataImageUrlField="TmpFilename" HeaderText="Image">
<ControlStyle Height="64px" Width="96px" />
</asp:ImageField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Type" HeaderText="Type" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ContentID" HeaderText="id" Visible="false" ShowHeader="false" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Delete">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="ChBox1" OnCheckedChanged="ExistContents_CheckedChanged" AutoPostBack="True"/>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<EditRowStyle BackColor="#999999" />
<FooterStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" CssClass="header"/>
<PagerStyle BackColor="#284775" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" ForeColor="#333333" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#E2DED6" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
<SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#E9E7E2" />
<SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#506C8C" />
<SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#FFFDF8" />
<SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#6F8DAE" />
</asp:GridView>
and here is the event handler
protected void ExistContents_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
ExistContents.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
List<CONTENT> panier;
panier = (List<CONTENT>)Session["PANIER"];
ExistContents.DataSource = panier;
ExistContents.DataBind();
}

You should handle the PageIndexChanged event instead.
The pageIndexChanging is made to give you an option to cancel the paging before it's executed.

here is an answer for this probleme, acctually my datasource was not the session but a linq query so i changed it and it works perfectly
and here is my new code
protected void ExistContents_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)sender;
GridViewRow gr = (GridViewRow)chk.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent;
int id= Convert.ToInt32(gr.Cells[0].Text);
if (chk.Checked)
AddToCaddy(id, "DELETE");
else
DeleteFromCaddy(id);
UpdatePanel.DataBind();
UpdatePanel.Update();
}
just for information if you are making a databind to your gridview in the Page_Load inside the if (!IsPostBack) then you will need to redefind the dataSource but if you'r not then you only need to use these functions
UpdatePanel.DataBind();
UpdatePanel.Update();
i hope this helps

Getting selectedrow in RowCommand

i have a gridview as:
<asp:GridView ID="gdvOpinions" runat="server" Width="100%" CellPadding="4"
ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" Height="100px" Visible="False"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" onrowcommand="gdvOpinions_RowCommand" >
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" />
<Columns>
<asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" CommandName="Confirm" Text="تائید" />
<asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" CommandName="Delete" Text="حذف" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="مقاله" HeaderText="مقاله" >
<ControlStyle Width="150px" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="نظر کاربر" HeaderText="نظر کاربر" >
<ControlStyle Width="250px" />
</asp:BoundField>
</Columns>
<EditRowStyle BackColor="#999999" />
<FooterStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#284775" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" ForeColor="#333333" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#E2DED6" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
<SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#E9E7E2" />
<SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#506C8C" />
<SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#FFFDF8" />
<SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#6F8DAE" />
</asp:GridView>
As you see, i have two buttonfield for every row, but when i click one of these buttons and want to get their row in
gdvOpinions_RowCommand
the
gdvOpinions.SelectedRow
returns null;
how should i find which row is selected?

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns = "false"
OnRowCommand = "OnRowCommand">
<Columns>
<asp:ButtonField CommandName = "ButtonField" DataTextField = "CustomerID"
ButtonType = "Button"/>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
protected void OnRowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
GridViewRow gvRow = GridView1.Rows[index];
}

From what I understand out of your question, if you are trying to get the row for which the button was clicked, then in that case this might be the right thing to do :
GridViewRow gRow = (GridViewRow)((Control)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer;
Now here, this is for a control such as a Button or ImageButton. You might have to improvise on this for ButtonField.
You can also change the ButtonField to a simple TemplateField with a Button.
Hope this helps.

how to navigate to a url using linkbutton in gridview

i have a gridview which stores names of software and a button field. What i want to do is that by executing a query behind "open" linkbutton and the resulting answer which is a url from database, i want to navigate to that link which is stored in the variable.
e.g: when i click open button i want to navigate to "www.google.com"
so far what i have coded is:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" ShowHeaderWhenEmpty="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#999999" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3" DataSourceID="softwares" ForeColor="Black" GridLines="Vertical" OnRowCommand="GridView2_RowCommand">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Softwares" HeaderText="Softwares" SortExpression="Softwares" />
<asp:ButtonField CommandName="open" Text="Open" />
</Columns>
<FooterStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="Black" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#999999" ForeColor="Black" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#000099" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#F1F1F1" />
<SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#808080" />
<SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#CAC9C9" />
<SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#383838" />
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="softwares" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:certConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT sw_name AS Softwares FROM Software"></asp:SqlDataSource>
C# code:
protected void GridView2_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if(e.CommandName == "open")
{
using(CertDataContext context=new CertDataContext())
{
int i=Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
var open = (from a in context.Softwares where a.sw_name == GridView2.Rows[i].Cells[0].Text select a).FirstOrDefault();
Response.Redirect(open.tosting());
}
}
}

HttpResponse.Redirect(string)
The parameter CAN be an absolute url. Check the example Microsoft gives in their documentation.

Dynamically adding drop down lists inside gridview cells

I have a grid view, if the database is returning null for a particular column I want to insert a drop down list that is populated from a database.
Here is the code I have to identify the the column is null and it is working correctly.
protected void viewThemeTypeAssociationsGridView_OnRowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.Cells[1].Text == " ")
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
//fill current rows cell with a dropdown list
}
}
Here is the gridview:
<asp:GridView ID="viewThemeTypeAssociationsGridView" runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" BackColor="#DEBA84" BorderColor="#DEBA84"
BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3" CellSpacing="2"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource6" OnRowDataBound="viewThemeTypeAssociationsGridView_OnRowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Type" HeaderText="Type" SortExpression="Type" />
</Columns>
<FooterStyle BackColor="#F7DFB5" ForeColor="#8C4510" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#A55129" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<PagerStyle ForeColor="#8C4510" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#FFF7E7" ForeColor="#8C4510" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#738A9C" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#FFF1D4" />
<SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#B95C30" />
<SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#F1E5CE" />
<SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#93451F" />
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource6" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ApplicationServices %>" >
</asp:SqlDataSource>
Additionally, once I populate the row, how do I know which drop down list specifically is being used when there are many versions of it?
