If I follow you, I am not fluen but I had similar problem I think (I work with C#.2010 but it should be similar for those controls - I assume we are talking about ASP). GridView shows just "first" datatable of DataSet you set as datasource. It does it with naming container (adding row ID to control ID). So, you can access controls with method FindControl called on DataRow. So, having method called on row you have row ID (which is also row of datatable). If you set it with ItemTemplate try something as sender.parent.parent (this is row). I did it following: Session["PrevSelection"] = ((Button)sender).ID; Session["PrevRow"] = ((GridViewRow) ((Button)sender).Parent.Parent).RowIndex; You can use session or hidden or whatever you like. Than, in next request: int iRowIndx = (int)Session["PrevRow"]; Button btn = (Button)Schedule.Rows[iRowIndx].FindControl((String)Session["PrevSelection"]); Regards, Pawel
