How to: Enable Default Selection in the GridView Web Server Control

The ASP.NET GridView control has a built-in selection capability that allows users to select a row in the grid. Selecting a row in a GridView control does not inherently perform any task. However, by adding selection capability, you can add functionality to the grid that relies on users pointing to a specific row. Typical uses for adding selection capability to the GridView control include the following:

  • When users select a row, the row is redisplayed with a different look.

  • When users select a row, related data is displayed elsewhere in the page, such as in a DetailsView control.

To access the selected row, use the SelectedRow property.

To perform custom actions when a user selects a row, provide a handler for the SelectedIndexChanging event.

To enable selection using the smart tag

  1. In Design view, right-click the GridView control and click Show Smart Tag.

  2. In the smart tag panel, select Enable Selection.

To enable default selection using the AutoGenerateSelectButton property

  • Select the GridView control, and in the Properties window, set AutoGenerateSelectButton to true.

    -or-

  • In Source view, in the <asp:GridView> element, set the AutoGenerateSelectButton attribute to true:

    <asp:GridView Runat="server" ID="GridView1" 
      AutoGenerateSelectButton="true" />
    

To customize the look of a row in selection mode

  • Set properties for the SelectedRowStyle.

    For example, if you set the BackColor subproperty of the SelectedRowStyle to gray, a selected row is displayed with a gray background.
