Question

I am trying to get this sample to work
Get Selected Row (on server)

but for me the SelectedRow property is always empty.

The only difference being that I am using the Page_load event to populate my grid.
When i press a button on my form, it does a postback, and repopulates the grid losing the row selection.

sample code:

if (!Page.IsPostBack )
    {
        UserBusinessObject userBO = new UserBusinessObject();
        GRDUsers.DataSource = userBO.GetUsersbyProfileID(SessionFacade.Id);
        GRDUsers.DataBind();
    }


 protected void btnEdit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(GRDUsers.SelectedRow))
     {
         lblError.Visible = true;
     }
     else
     {
         Response.Redirect(string.Format("~/Manage/EditUserRoles.aspx?username={0}",GRDUsers.SelectedRow));

     }

}

I Have also noticed that on button click, my Page Load fires twice (1st time postback is true, 2nd time it is false) According to jqgrid posts this is intentional. but i think this might be causing my grief.

Answer 1

working with the guys at JQGrid, we have resolved the problem. It is a bug in their grid that has been fixed in v4.5.0.0

see here for details

i can confirm that this fixes the bug, and all is right with the world again
