Couldn't you replace the 0 with the row index?<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-233066"><span>dgUserLevel.SelectedRows[0].FindControl(&quot;btnDelete&quot;);</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

Hello AvinashKN,<br />
<br />
Because that is what you have told it to do: (Button)dgUserLevel.Rows[0<wbr />] &lt;- First row.<br />
<br />
Depending on what event you are using this in you have various properties such as e.RowIndex or dgUserLevel.EditIndex which will allow you to specify the current row.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />

<div>
How do I specify the current row? 
</div>


<div>
The SelectedRows property contains a collection of the currently selected rows. Since the user is editing, this will be one row. So, the following row is the current row:<br />
<br />
dbUserLevel.Rows[0]<br />
<br />
This should always work. Could you try this please?
</div>


<div>
I cannot specify rowindex either for whatever reason. <br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-233077"><span>    protected void dgUserLevel_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)</span>
<span>    {</span>
<span>        try</span>
<span>        {</span>
<span>            dgUserLevel.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;</span>
<span>            PopulateUserLevelDataGrid();</span>
<span>            Button btn = (Button) dgUserLevel.Rows[0].FindControl(&quot;btnDelete&quot;);</span>
<span>            btn.Enabled = false</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

<span>              PopulateUserLevelDataGrid();</span>
<span>              GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((Control)e.CommandSource).Parent.Parent;</span>
<span>              Button btn = (Button) row.FindControl(&quot;btnDelete&quot;);</span>

I'm getting the following error: <br />
<br />
Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls<wbr />.GridViewR<wbr />ow'<br />

<div>
Thanks for the help pvginkel. It works. <br />
<br />
I would also like to thank Tim Cotee. Since I'm a complete newbie to asp.net programming, his explanation was very helpful.<br />
<br />
Thank you both.

Hello all, <br />
<br />
I would like to know if its possible to disable the delete button while the user is editing a row in a gridview. I've posted the code I was experiementing with but it obviously is not the right solution since it only disables the first row. <br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-233061"><span>Button btn = (Button)dgUserLevel.Rows[0].FindControl(&quot;btnDelete&quot;);</span>

Disabling delete button while editing Gridview

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
