get gridview value from link button

protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
//Determine the RowIndex of the Row whose Button was clicked.
int rowIndex = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
//Reference the GridView Row.
GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[rowIndex];
LinkButton linkbtn = (row.FindControl("linkbtn") as LinkButton);
string val = linkbtn.Text;
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "alert", "alert('Name: " + linkbtn.Text + "');", true);
}

Below screenshot get the linkbutton current row clicked shown in alert box.

Hi Subin,

As you mentioned in your code, where did you used below variables?
int MyIndex =GRidView1.SelectedIndex;
int rownum = MyIndex +1;

i used fallowing code jignesh and it worked
GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;

int pno = (Row.FindControl("lbtnpno") as LinkButton).Text;

if label then,
int pno = (Row.FindControl("lbtnpno") as Label).Text;

Hi Subin,

Please try below link, if you are using boundcoumn then you need to put only commandName and you have event for grid OnSelectedIndexChanged = "OnSelectedIndexChanged"
