        if (e.CommandName == "ShowDetails")
        {
            GridView Staff = (GridView)sender;

            int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
            GridViewRow row = Staff.Rows[index];
            GridView StaffInfo = (GridView)Staff.Rows[index].FindControl("StaffInfo");
            int TeamID = Convert.ToInt16(Staff.DataKeys[index].Values[0].ToString());
            int cityID = Convert.ToInt16(Staff.DataKeys[index].Values[1].ToString());
            StaffInfo.DataSource = GetStaff(cityID, TeamID);
            StaffInfo.DataBind();
            StaffInfo.Visible = true;
        }
        else if(e.CommandName == "ShowAll")
        {
            int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
            GridView StaffInfo = (GridView)Staff.Rows[index].FindControl("StaffInfo");

Answer 1

you can try this:

var rowIndexForFooter = gridview.Rows.Count - 1;

hope this help...

Answer 2

You can get footer row by following code-

gridview1.FooterRow   // Use name of your gridview

Check if it has any idex property so u can get the index of footer row.

may be gridview1.FooterRow.RowIndex // not tested
