How can I retrieve a DataRow from the DataGrid in the update handler?
Can I do this or do I need to construct one?

Alex, what you do is grab the value in the DataGrid. How you get the
value for a particular column of the updated row depends on if the row
is a BoundColumn or a TemplateColumn. Examples for both types of
columns can be seen here:

If your datagrid is bound to a datatable, use e.item.datasetindex to get the
row index, then retrieve the data from that row in the datatable.

Is there a way to directly get an entire DataRow out of the grid?

e.g. DataRow x = ???DataGrid??? [e.Item.DataSetIndex]
