GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((Control)e.CommandSource).Parent.Parent;

Above code is used when we want to obtain rowindex of the control which fired the RowCommand

Control:-Generally gridview row control like LinkButton or checkbox
-commandsource:-We use that in the ItemCommand of the DataCotnrol to get a reference to the control that causes the event to be fired(the button that was clicked by the user).

.parent:- Immediate parent like row or gridview
