Selecting a value from a Gridview Control

hal

I'm trying to get a value from a gridview control and put that value in
a query string. I have a select button on the gridview and once the
user hits the select button i want to capture the the userid. Here's
some example code and you can see where i'm trying to do this in on the
line that starts with Response.Redirect:

    protected void SearchUserMenu_MenuItemClick(object sender,
MenuEventArgs e)
    {
        if (GridView1.SelectedIndex > -1)
        {
            switch (e.Item.Text)
            {
                case "Security User":
                    Response.Redirect("~/SecurityUser.aspx?userID=" +
GridView1.SelectedRow.DataItem);
                    break;
                case "WFM User Group/Location":
                    break;
                case "Maintain User":
                    break;
                case "Add User":
                    break;
            }
        }
    }

any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

Try this:

GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
string yourDataItem = row.Cells[1].Text;
