GridView - Limit user selection to only one row???

[Randy Smith]

Hi,
I would like to limit my user selection to only one row in the GridView at a
time. Is there any way to set this?

TIA, Randy

Isn't it that by default if you rely on using "Select" command and
GridView's SelectedIndex property. E.g have Buttons etc which have
CommandName="Select" defined, which changes grid's selected row. If you get
the selected row via SelectedIndex/SelectedRow properties, I don't see you'd
have a problem. E.g if you use GridView's own row-selection mechanism

Hi,
I was given code to check to see if any rows are selected, but I want to
limit my user to selecting only one row. Here is the code I was given:

foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
{
CheckBox chk1 = (CheckBox) row.FindControl("chk1");
if (chk1.Checked == true)
{
//code goes here
}
}

So, the above listed code makes it obvious that more than one row can be
selected at any given time.
TIA, Randy

Why use a checkbox, instead of a select button?

I agree. RadioButton is also a good option. If you want a free control doing
that, see RowSelectorField at
