I have a delete button on my page which deletes the selected row in a
gridview.

After the deletion the selected index gets reset to -1. How can I keep the
same selected index?

If the index of the deleted row is greater than the selectedindex, you could
take it into a local variable before deleting (perhaps in OnRowDeleting
event), and after delete operation (in OnRowDeleted event), set it back. If
the index of the deleted row is less than or equal to selected index, you'd
need to decrement one from the index (since it's not correct anymore as it
vontains the deleted row)-->could lead to index being out of range

I've added the following code in the OnRowDeleting event
DeletedRow = e.RowIndex

In the OnRowDeleted event I have the following code
RowCount = RowCount - 1
If DeletedRow = RowCount Then
grdCurrentAbsence.SelectedIndex = DeletedRow - 1
Else
grdCurrentAbsence.SelectedIndex = DeletedRow
End If

RowCount is a local varaiable holding the number of rows in the gridview.
This is still resetting the selectedIndex to -1.

What am I doing wrong?

Got it.

The OnRowDeleting event should be for the gridview but the OnRowDeleted
event should be for the datasource.

It's working as expected now.
