.NET - SelectedRow not returning any value - asp.net

Question

I am new with .net!
I have two gridviews connected to a large database. The first one is returning a list of issues searched by ID while the other is returning the issues searched by subject.
I am trying to get the ID from the gridview returning issues from a select button but when I use selectedRow it doesn't return anything.
I tried multiple methods and this is what I have now. Any Suggestions?
Protected Sub IssuesGV_SelectedIndexChanging(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewSelectEventArgs)
Dim pName As String
pName = IssuesGV.SelectedRow.Cells(0).Text
BindGridComments(pName)
End Sub
Protected Sub IssuesGV_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
e.Row.Attributes("onmouseover") = "this.style.backgroundColor='aquamarine';"
e.Row.Attributes("onmouseout") = "this.style.backgroundColor='white';"
e.Row.ToolTip = "Click last column for selecting this row."
' e.Row.Cells(0).Attributes.Add("onclick", )
End If
End Sub
Protected Sub IssuesGV_RowCommand(sender As Object, e As GridViewCommandEventArgs)
' ' Dim row As GridViewRow = IssuesGV.Rows(rowIndex)
' v = row.Cells(1).Text
'v = IssuesGV.SelectedRow.Cells(0).Text
' TextBox1.Text = v
'TextBox1.Text = v
If (e.CommandName = "Select1") Then
Dim index As Int16
index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument)
Dim row As GridViewRow
row = IssuesGV.Rows(index)
Dim item As ListItem
item.Text = Server.HtmlDecode(row.Cells(0).Text)
End If
End Sub
My gridview code is the following (the one where I am using the select button):
<asp:GridView ID="IssuesGV" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnRowCommand ="IssuesGV_RowCommand" OnRowDataBound="IssuesGV_RowDataBound" OnSelectedIndexChanged = "IssuesGV_OnSelectedIndexChanged" SelectedIndexChaning ="IssuesGV_SelectedIndexChanging" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="number" DataSourceID="IssueDS" EnableModelValidation="True">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="number" HeaderText="number" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="number" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="subject" HeaderText="subject" SortExpression="subject" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="description" HeaderText="description" SortExpression="description" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="created_at" HeaderText="created_at" SortExpression="created_at" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="opener_name" HeaderText="opener_name" SortExpression="opener_name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="project_name" HeaderText="project_name" SortExpression="project_name" />
<asp:ButtonField Text="Select" CommandName="Select1" ItemStyle-Width="30" ButtonType="Button" HeaderText="Select" ShowHeader="True" SortExpression="number" >
<ItemStyle Width="30px" />
</asp:ButtonField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
The error I am receiving is this one:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException HResult=0x80131502
Message=Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the
size of the collection. Parameter name: index Source= StackTrace:
Many Thanks!

Front End:
Your GridView should look like this:
<asp:GridView ID="IssuesGV" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="IssuesGV_OnSelectedIndexChanged">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="number" HeaderText="number" />
...Some Other Fields
<asp:ButtonField Text="Select" CommandName="Select" ItemStyle-Width="150" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Back End:
Then add this code OnSelectedIndexChanged of GridView:
Protected Sub IssuesGV_OnSelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
'Accessing Selected BoundField Column
Dim number As String = IssuesGV.SelectedRow.Cells(0).Text
label.Text = "<b>Number Value:</b> " & number & " <b>"
End Sub
Ref: See full example here.
Edit
For some reason, if OnSelectedIndexChanged method is not firing then you've just need to add below attribute in your GridView header markup:
AutoGenerateSelectButton="True"
This will create a Select link in your GridView rows, which'll fire the OnSelectedIndexChanged method.
PS: If above all workarounds not works then see this post.
