You can use this snippet to get the row as HTML in the GridView OnRowDataBound event.

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        CheckBox cb = e.Row.FindControl("CheckBox1") as CheckBox;

        if (cb.Checked == true)
        {
            TableRow row = e.Row;

            StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
            HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
            row.RenderControl(htw);

            string rowContents = sw.ToString();
        }
    }
}
