No, it's not a parent. The code is just casting the sender (which is the GridView) to make it easier to deal with in the EventHandler. Not really necessary, unless the EventHandler will be used by more than one Grid's RowCommand event. It could just as easily have been:

        void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            // GridView gv = (GridView)sender;
            // All statements that follow would use this.GridView1 instead of gv;
            ...
