What is difference between RowIndex and DataItemIndex?

In gridview’s RowDataBound event has e.Row.RowIndex and e.Row.DataItemIndex properties.
Please tell me in easily understandable answer, what is difference between them?
In which situation we should use which one?

Solution

  • Use the DataItemIndex property to determine the index of the DataItem in the underlying DataSet.
    Use the RowIndex property to determine the index of the GridViewRow object in the Rows collection of a GridView control.
