datagrid question

[Guest]

I want to select/highlight a row in my datagrid, then click a button (not in
the grid) to update. When I click that update button its then going to show
my update panel with the data for that selected row. I forget the syntax to
highlight/select a row with the SELECT button/link hidden in the grid. What
is that?

I have my update method working and the select working BUT the select BUTTON
is showing in my grid, so how can I get it to work without showing the SELECT
button in my grid?

I have this
datagrid_selectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string name = dataGrid.SelectedItem.Cell[3].Text.ToString();
UpdateSales(name);
}

UpdateSales(string name)
{
//populates my text boxes and then updates the DB
}

I want the select button gone from the grid and just highlight the row,
click on the row and then show my update panel.

i did this a while ago but i forget the syntax for it. thanks

Hi,

I'm not sure whether or not I fully understand your question. Please feel
free to correct me if I've misunderstood anything.

When you say "click on the row and then show my update panel", how are you
doing that in code?

Also, if you want to select a row by code, I believe using
DataGrid.SelectedIndex can achieve that. However, directly changing the
SelectedIndex will not trigger the SelectedIndexChanged event.
