Use the gridviews rowdatabound event.

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{

    // on each row which is DataRow populate dropdown lists
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
       
       

        Button Button1 = (Button)e.Row.FindControl("Button1");

     
        //could be dbdatarecords (for datareader) or other object You may have to modify this
        DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem;

       // Add values to button
      Button1.attributes.add("id", dvr\["id"\].tostring());
      }
  }

I didn't get any requirements for the signature

Button button1 = (button)sender; button1.attribute["ID"].value ?

Hi, No that's not possible..because gridview is the sender....because image button is inside the gridview..i tried but it makes error.... regards alex

Sorry, I guess I usually used an item template column. You should still be able to determine the gridviewrow and use its findcontrol method. If that doesn't work you could pass both values as the command argument and use string.split. I'm sure you can figure it out.
