DataGridCommandEventArgs Item.ItemIndex = -1?

Question

Hello I have a DataGrid, which is defined like this:

<asp:DataGrid ID="DG_XYZ" runat="server" DataKeyField="id" OnItemCommand="DG_XYZ_ItemCommand"> ....

Now, I in the DG_XYZ_ItemCommand method, I am trying to do this:

int id = Convert.ToInt32(DG_XYZ.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex].ToString();

This gives an error when paging for example, because e.Item.ItemIndex is -1. Question is why? The method look like this:

protected void DG_XYZ_ItemCommand(object sender, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    int id = Convert.ToInt32(DG_XYZ.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex].ToString();
    ...
}

Whats wrong here? Thanks :).
