Datagrid SelectedIndexChanged Problem in CodeBehind

[Brian K. Williams]

I am attempting to use the SelectedIndexChanged to detect when a row has
been selected. I have seen many examples where they are writing all the code
on the ASPX page.

When I attempt to use the SelectedIndexChanged on the Code Behind it never
fires.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////////////

The CodeBehind:
public void dbGridPlayers_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
System.EventArgs e){

playerInfo.Text = dbGridPlayers.SelectedItem.Cells[1].Text;

}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////////////

The APSX Code:

<aspataGrid id="dbGridPlayers" runat="server"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="dbGridPlayers_SelectedIndexChanged"
DataKeyField="PlayerID" BorderColor="#CCCCCC" BorderStyle="None"
BorderWidth="1px" BackColor="White" CellPadding="3" CellSpacing="0"
Width="100%">
<SelectedItemStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White"
BackColor="#669999"></SelectedItemStyle>
<ItemStyle ForeColor="#000066" CssClass="ItemRow"
Font-Name="Arial" Font-Size="9"></ItemStyle>
<HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White"
BackColor="#006699" Font-Name="Arial" Font-Size="10"></HeaderStyle>
<FooterStyle ForeColor="#000066"
BackColor="White"></FooterStyle>
<PagerStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" ForeColor="#000066"
BackColor="White" Mode="NumericPages"></PagerStyle>
</aspataGrid>


Thanks for any help.

You're supposed to have a Button or LinkButton in your grid with
CommandName="Select".
Clicking this button will fire the SelectedIndexChanged event.

Are you building the column at design time or run time?

It seems to me that if the SelectedIndexChanged event is available when the
code is in the ASPX, there must be a way to expose this event for use in a
code behind.

I have had some similar trouble. My problem seemed to have something to do
with the order things were firing.....

In otherwords, on postback the pageload seemed to fire first, setting the
selected index back to 0. Then the dbGrid_SelectedIndexChanged event would
fire and show me the value in the first line.

Sorry if I am wasting your time, but do you see "RAT" in the textbox if you
use the following....

If so, the event is firing and you have a different problem.

The CodeBehind:
public void dbGridPlayers_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
System.EventArgs e){

playerInfo.Text = "RAT"
}

Run Time...
Could that make a difference?
