Question

My problem is that in the below code, the SelectedRow property returns nothing. I manually bind items to GridView at runtime and autogeneratecolumns and autogenerateselectbutton properties are true.

I think the problem is about having a PostBack when the Select command is clicked.

Thanks a lot.

Protected Sub GridView1_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCommand
        Session("ContactID") = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(0).Text()
        Response.Redirect("~/ContactAddress.aspx")
End Sub

Answer 1

The row you want is accessible via e (the GridViewCommandEventArgs parameter), specifically the value of e.CommandArgument which will have the row index :

From here :

To determine the index of the row that
raised the event, use the
CommandArgument property of the event
argument that is passed to the event.
The ButtonField class automatically
populates the CommandArgument property
with the appropriate index value. For
other command buttons, you must
manually set the CommandArgument
property of the command button. For
example, you can set the
CommandArgument to <%#
Container.DataItemIndex %> when the
GridView control has no paging
enabled.
