Row keys for an ASP.NET 2.0 GridView

I only just discovered this today, that if you tell a GridView control via its DataKeyNames property what the key column for each row is, then you can retrieve that value later by using the DataKeys property.

eg.

Dim sectionId As Integer = _ CInt(GridView1.DataKeys(row.RowIndex).Value)
