Accepted Answer

Asssuming that you are using `BoundFields` for the first three columns and you want to handle the `LinkButton`-click event (instead of the e.g. `RowCommand` of the `GridView`):

```
protected void CloseLinkClicked(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var closeLink = (Control) sender;
    GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow) closeLink.NamingContainer;
    string firstCellText = row.Cells[0].Text; // here we are
}
```

If you are using `TemplateFields` and the value `aa` is in a Label (e.g. `LblValue`):

```
Label lblValue = (Label) row.FindControl("LblValue"); // lblValue.Text = "aa"
```
