hey Navanit,

Assign Primarykey column name to DatakeyName property of GridView and try this on selectedIndexchanged event of GridView

C#

int _gCode;
_gCode = GridView1.DataKeys[GridView1.SelectedIndex].Value.ToString();

or u can use this also..

C#

int j = GridView1.SelectedRow.RowIndex;
       _gCode = Convert.ToInt32(GridView1.DataKeys[j].Value);

hope this help u.
