Hello,

I have been looking at this problem for a couple of days with no luck. I had a selectable gridview in an ordinary web form that was working, but when I converted my solution to use a master page, this one with the selectable gridview stopped working. By stopped working, I mean, when I select a row in the GridView, a postback occurs, but the row isn't selected. Other controls on the form work, such as the command buttons and login control. There are two gridviews on the page, each bound to its own accessdatasource, whose select statements are dynamically generated in the page_load event. Please help!

Hi,

If you want to select a row in the gridview , you should add a new colum of SelectButton. When you click on the selectButton, the row will be sselected.

    <asp:GridView ID="grdStaff" runat="server" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" ShowHeader="False" OnSelectedIndexChanged="staff_changed" CssClass="aspGridView" OnRowDataBound="format_row" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
            <FooterStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
            <RowStyle BackColor="#FFFBD6" ForeColor="#333333" />
            <SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="Navy" />
            <PagerStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" ForeColor="#333333" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
            <HeaderStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
            <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
            <Columns>
                <asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" SortExpression="ID" />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="Location" HeaderText="Location" SortExpression="Location" />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="Job" HeaderText="Job" SortExpression="Job" />
                <asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" />
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>

Amanda,

 Thanks for your reply. I can't use this method since I programmatically specify the select statement for the access data source and bind the grid view to it. What I was originally doing before switching to a master page was programmatically hiding certain fields of the gridview and then adding a select link to the end. You can see this if you look at my format_row method, which is called on the rowdatabound event of the gridviews. When adding the select link to the end of each row I was setting its text property to "<a href=javascript:__doPostBack('grdStaff','Select$" which was working just fine. But, when I switched to use a master page, I forgot that the id's of controls are changed, so I had to change the text of the select link to "<a href=javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$grdStaff','Select$". This works just fine now.
