                        <asp:GridView ID="grdCategory" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"   
                            Width="900px" DataKeyNames="CourseCatID" Font-Names="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" Font-Size="8pt" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None">
                            <columns>
                             <asp:BoundField  HeaderText = "CourseCatID" DataField="CourseCatID" />
                             
                             <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Course Category">
                                 <itemtemplate>
                                 
                                 
                                <a href="java<!-- no -->script:toggleDiv('mydiv<%# Eval(" coursecatid=")%>')"><asp:Image ID="img" onclick="javascript:Toggle(this);" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/plus.gif"

                                       <asp:Label ID="lbllastname" Height="15px" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("CourseCatName")%>'> 
           
                               
                                                                        

                                      <div id="mydiv<%# Eval(" coursecatid=")%>" style="display:none">
                                                        
                                       <br />
                               
                                     
                             
                                            

                     <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageAdd" Height="17px" ImageUrl="Images/addCourse.png" runat="server" CommandName="cmdAdd" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("CourseCatID") %>' OnClick="ImageAdd_click"
                                        />
                                       <br />
                                       <br />
                               <asp:GridView ID="grdCourse" runat="server"  Width="800px" HorizontalAlign="Right" AutoGenerateColumns="False" align="center" DataKeyNames="CourseName" Font-Names="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" Font-Size="8pt" BackColor="White" 
                              GridLines="Vertical">
<columns> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Delete" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left"  >
                                 <itemtemplate>
                                     <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageDelete"  Height="15px" ImageUrl="Images/Delete.png" runat="server" CommandName="cmdDelete" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("CourseName") %>'
                                        />
                                 </itemtemplate>
                                   <itemstyle horizontalalign="Left" />
                                </columns>
                               
</div></itemtemplate></columns>

Here is my code on RowCommand

Protected Sub grdCategory_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles grdCategory.RowDataBound
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
            Dim gv As GridView = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("grdCourse"), GridView)
            _courselistDAL = New CourseListDAL
            Dim tpTemplate As New TrainingPlanTemplate

            tpTemplate.Year = 2011
            tpTemplate.CourseCatID = DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "CourseCatID")

            gv.DataSource = _courselistDAL.GetCourseDefinition(tpTemplate)
            gv.DataBind()
            grdCategory.Columns(0).Visible = False
            grdCategory.Columns(3).Visible = False
            'gv.Columns(0).Visible = False
            gv.Columns(5).Visible = False

        End If

On row command event, you can access parent grid from child grid like this..

C#

Protected void grdCategory_RowCommand(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
   if(e.CommandName=="cmdDelete")
   {
       GridView ChildGridView = GridView child = (GridView)((ImageButton)(e.CommandSource)).Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent;
       GridView ParentGridView = (GridView)(ChildGridView.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent);
   }
}

why not you put an other label just above you child grid and bind with you datakeys(primery key) and on row command you can call

C#

int ParentKey =  Convert.ToInt32(((Label)gvChildGrid.Parent.FindControl("lblPrimeryKey")).text)

this will give the datakeys of that perticular row of parent grid.
and for childgrid you can eaisly find on row command as commandargument.
