GridView Select Row By DataKey

[JeffBuzz]

I have searched high and low and cannot figure this out. I want
programmatically select a row in my GridView based on a primary key
value (DataKey). You would think this is common, but I guess not. It
is easy to do when the data key is on the current page, but doesn't
work when the key is on another page.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hello JeffBuzz,

What does "when the key is on another page" mean?

You can put your key inti the the grid and make that column hidden
