GridView OnSelectedIndexChanged event not firing

Question

I am trying to get the selected row of the GridView, and I know that I should be able to get that information based on the OnSelectedIndexChanged e

Answer 1

It is NOT true that you can't click a row and have it handle the SelectedIndexChanged event. You just have to add a little code to the RowCreated event.

Protected Sub yourDataGrid_RowCreated(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles yourDataGrid.RowCreated
    If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
        e.Row.Attributes("onclick") = Me.Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(Me.yourDataGrid, "Select$" & e.Row.RowIndex)
    End If
End Sub
