Answer 1

We just ran into this issue where I work. Our way around this problem was to first get the DropDownLists UniqueID. This is basically a Client ID. Inside of that ID is a reference to the row of the GridView that it was selected from. THE ONLY PROBLEM is that it seems to add 2 to the row count. So if you select Row 1's DropdownList, the Unique ID will bring you a reference to the 3rd row. So:

Get the unique ID > Split it however you need to to get the row > use the row number to get the values you need.
