You can handle the SelectedIndexChanged event of the master grid and put datakey of the selected item to separate list. after that rebind details grid using all master grid data fir those id’s stored in that list.

<asp:GridView ID="MasterGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" Caption="Master"
        DataKeyNames="Id">
        <Columns>
            <asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="true" SelectText="Select" />
            <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Id" DataField="Id" />
            <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Name" DataField="Name" />
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>

    <asp:GridView ID="DetailsGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" 
        DataKeyNames="Id" Caption="Details">
        <Columns>
            <asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="true" SelectText="Select" />
            <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Id" DataField="Id" />
            <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Name" DataField="Name" />
            <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Age" DataField="Age" />
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>

Code-behind:

    private List<MyClass> MasterGridViewDataSource
    {
        get { return Session["MasterGridViewDataSource"] as List<MyClass>; }
        set { Session["MasterGridViewDataSource"] = value; }
    }

    private List<int> SelectedIDs
    {
        get { return ViewState["SelectedIDs"] as List<int>; }
        set { ViewState["SelectedIDs"] = value; }
    }

    protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MasterGridView.SelectedIndexChanged += MasterGridView_OnSelectedIndexChanged;
    }

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            var masterGridDataSource = GetMasterGridDataSource();
            MasterGridViewDataSource = masterGridDataSource;
            MasterGridView.DataSource = masterGridDataSource;
            MasterGridView.DataBind();

            SelectedIDs = new List<int>();
        }
    }

    private List<MyClass> GetMasterGridDataSource()
    {
        return (from item in Enumerable.Range(1, 10)
                select new MyClass { Id = item, Name = string.Format("Item #{0}", item), Age = item })
                .ToList();
    }

    void MasterGridView_OnSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var selectedId = (int)MasterGridView.SelectedDataKey.Value;
        if (!SelectedIDs.Contains(selectedId))
            SelectedIDs.Add(selectedId);

        DetailsGridView.DataSource = (from item in MasterGridViewDataSource
                                      join id in SelectedIDs on item.Id equals id
                                      select item);
        DetailsGridView.DataBind();
    }

    [Serializable]
    public class MyClass
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public int Age { get; set; }
    }
