loop through gridview and get data key value

I am trying to loop through the rows of my gridview and retrieve the data key value of each row and then execute some code to run sql queries. How can I get the data key value of each row in variable? right now I am receiving an error message saying:

value of type system.web.ui.webcontrols.datakey cannot be converted to integer.

Here is my code:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    For Each row As GridViewRow In GridView1.Rows
        Dim therowindex As Integer = row.RowIndex

        Dim theid As Integer = GridView1.DataKeys([therowindex])

        'execute some more code running queries using the data key value.
    Next
End Sub

You can iterate through the .Rows collection, and then find the row's DataKey value.

foreach(GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
{
    string theDataKey = GridView1.DataKeys[row.RowIndex].Value.ToString();
    // Do something with your index/key value
}

You have to use Value property.

Dim theid As Integer = Integer.Parse(GridView1.DataKeys(therowindex).Value.ToString())
