Gridview and getting current row/cell

This is a truly stupid question. I have done this a million times with 1.1 and asp.net but cannot figure out how to do this using .net 2.0 and a WINDOWS application.

Basically I have a gridview control which contains some records.  The first column contains the primary key for my record.  When the user clicks on a row I want to extract the value held in the primarykey column so that I can get that record from my dataset and display it in a series of textboxes for editing.

I am using the CellContentClick event (not sure if this is correct) on my GridView and am extracting the current row "e.RowIndex" but how the hell do I get the contents of the first column called "PrimaryKey"

.

    i've tested this. works fine.

    string test;         
    int x = dataGridView2.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex; //column
    int y = dataGridView2.CurrentCell.RowIndex; //row
    test = dataGridView2[x, y].Value.ToString();

    That will give me the rowindex number of the current cell not the contents of the cell at the 1st position in the current row.

    Please tell me how to get the index of the gridview row without selecting the row and by just clicking the template column in that row.

    Please help!
