Question

I am using a DataGrid in an ASP.NET page.

When someone clicks a row with their mouse, I want to fill in data on my form using info from that DataGrid’s Selected Row.

I have wired up the control’s SelectedIndexChanged event, but there does not seem to be any way to access the individual rows.

protected void DataGridRow_Selected(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  var row = grid1. ???
}

Is there a way to do this?

I use Windows Forms mostly, so I could be missing something completely obvious to people who use WebForms on a more frequent basis.

You can use Ajax like JQuery to get the content of that grid cell and populate to your form field.

$("#inputfield").value($("#gridcell").html())
