Question

I’d like the CheckedChanged event for the checkbox in my gridview row to fire when clicking anywhere in the gridview row. So far, I’ve gotten as far as this…

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:" + Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(checkbox, "")); (in the gridview RowDataBound event handler)

The problem is that the postback occurs but the event doesn’t fire.

Change you code with following:

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", string.Format("document.getElementById('{0}').checked = !document.getElementById('{0}').checked; {1}", checkbox.ClientID, ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(checkbox, "")));

I suppose, that CheckBox control checking previous state on postback and if it the same as before, the RaisePostBackEvent method not fired.
