HELP!DataGrid HyperLink Highlighting??

[steroche]

I have a datagrid that passes values to one page to another - well it
actually loads up the same page again with the param passed in so i can
poplulate another datagrid from that parameter if you know what i mean.



My question is this: How can i make the datagrids' row highlight(like
the way when you click select btn) and have this behaviour persist into
the next page load?As in so i can see the 2 datagrids but i can tell
what value i selected in the 1st grid as its now highlighted..
Any suggestions greatly appreciated as this has been puzzling me for
days!

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

If you want to immitate select btn click, add a hidden column to the
datagrid:

<asp:ButtonColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" CommandName="Select"
Visible="False"></asp:ButtonColumn>

and handle the ItemDataBound event like this:

protected void dgUserGroup_ItemDataBound(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
ListItemType itemType = e.Item.ItemType;
if ((itemType == ListItemType.Pager) ||
(itemType == ListItemType.Header) ||
(itemType == ListItemType.Footer))
{
return;
}
LinkButton button = (LinkButton) e.Item.Cells[0].Controls[0];
e.Item.Attributes["onclick"] = this.GetPostBackClientHyperlink
(button, "");
}

The example assumes the the hidden column is placed in the very first
position in the grid.

Thanks Eliyahu ,
This works great for selecting anywhere iside my datagrid but is there
any way that i can get it to work for selecting a hyperlink column
aswell? I am selecting a column, passing the paramaters to the same
page again so that i can populate the datagrid form that value and it
would be niceif i could make the row highlight when i do this.
Thanks,
Steve
