Remarks

Use the Row property to access the properties of the row being created or data-bound. To access a specific cell in the row, use the Cells property of the GridViewRow object contained in the Row property. You can also determine which row type (header row, data row, and so on) is being created by using the RowType property of the GridViewRow object.
