So I ran across the problem of I need a web page to do something if a user clicked a row in a grid.
It wasn’t going to work for the user to click a button, the whole row had to be clickable.
Adding a row data bound event solved the problem.
I also change the background color on mouse over (and mouse out).
When the user clicks the row they get redirected to a page (with a query string parm so I know what row they clicked on).
1: protected void grid_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
2: {
3: if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
4: {
5: e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='#ceedfc'");
6: e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor=''");
7: e.Row.Attributes.Add("style", "cursor:pointer;");
8: e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "location='detail.aspx?id=" + e.Row.Cells[0].Text + "'");
9: }
10: }
