Question

Does anyone know how i can get the grid to select a row by clicking on any cell in the row?

The only way i can do this at the moment is by setting the AutoGenerateSelectButton property to True, but this adds a column to the grid with a crude ‘select’ hyperlink and only selects the row if the word ‘Select’ is cliked on.

Surely there has to be a better way!?!?

NOTE – I do not use C#

You need to add some javascript to the row in RowDataBound

   e.Row.Attributes['onclick'] =                      ClientScript.GetPostBackClientHyperlink                         (this.GridView1, 'Select$' + e.Row.RowIndex); 

There’s a CodeProject article about it here, which goes into much more detail.
