select gridview row without using select button?

[Guest]

Is there a way to let the user select a gridview row by clicking anywhere in
the row (e.g. on any column)? The gridview would be readonly and I would like
to bring up a detailview of the row the user clicked on.

Thanks.

During the GridView.RowCreated you can add a Javascript and either an
HTMLInputHidden object or a checkbox to manage the state of the selected row
on the server side. If you need an example you are welcome to look at this
demo that I have on my website:

Phillip, thanks for the interesting demo. It's not quite what I was looking
for though, I was hoping to be able to select a SINGLE row by clicking in ANY
column of data without having to add an extra column fto be able to select a
row.

Look at this thread which we discussed a solution using a hidden Select
CommandField on this forum a while ago:

Thanks, that was more like what I was looking for.
