I have a <asp:GridView> control that is populated with records. The first
column I display contains a "UserID" DataField. I've created my column using
the following code:

<asp:BoundField DataField="UserID" />

When the user clicks on a row, I'd like to get the current value of the
UserID column for the current row, as I want to use this value to populate
another GridView control. How can I achieve this?

Try this:
your.aspx file :

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"
onsorting="GridView1_Sorting"

<asp:boundfield datafield="something"

headertext="Something"
sortexpression="something"

in your.aspx.cs

protected void GridView1_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
{
string columnExpression = e.SortExpression;
}

you can of cause name the variable as you wish.
