grid row selection

Hi Sandy,

To do this, You should handle the ''SelectedRecordsChanged'' event and also set the ''PostBackOnFocusedChanged'' property to ''True''. This property ''PostBackOnFocusedChanged'' makes the grid to trigger a postback whenever a selection is changed and the event ''SelectedRecordsChanged'' triggers whenever the selection is made and the grid gets posted back.

To Get the value of any of the fields in the selected row try something similar to the code below inside the ''SelectedRecordsChanged'' event.

[c#]
if(e.SelectedRecord!=null)
{
e.SelectedRecord.Record.GetValue("ColumnName");
}

[vb]
If (Not e.SelectedRecord Is Nothing) Then
e.SelectedRecord.Record.GetValue("ColumnName")
End If

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

That worked great. I had tried the SelectedRowChanged event previously but was missing the PostBackOnFocusChanged = true part.
Thanks Again!

I tried this too and it did work, but the only problem I am having, the row selection is executing every time my page does any postback. In otherwords, if I click another control, it forces a postback and the grid selects a row on its own causing it to execute code I don't want run until I actually click on a row.

>I would like to extract the data from certain columns in a row of data when it is selected. The thing I don't know is what syntax to use. What event is triggered when a row is selected and what arguments item do I use?

Thanks,
Sandy
