Question

I’ve been looking online for a way to get the “Select” button to work. I’ve got a Member table that can get data, but I can’t select a single member and get more information about him from the database. ie. I want the database to change “view” and show me that members details.

All the online guides I’ve found online only talk about the “Edit” and “Delete” key.

I’m not sure what you mean by get the “Select” button to work – After adding the SelectCommand, you should subscribe to the SelectedIndexChanged command of the grid and do whatever you want in that event.

For instance:

protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        var row = GridView1.SelectedRow;
        // Do whatever you want
        row.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
