Related to gridview OnselectedIndexChanged

The Select Button is used to Select a Row of GridView, if we set AutoGenerateSelectButton Property[^] to True so that SelectedIndexChanged Event[^] gets fired.

But it doesn't always solve the purpose. Because the SelectedIndexChanged Event[^] will only fire if you click on the Select Button of a particular Row. It fails to work, if you click on any other area of the same Row.

"grdYourGrid"
runat="server"
AutoGenerateSelectButton="True"
OnRowDataBound="grdYourGrid_RowDataBound"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="grdYourGrid_SelectedIndexChanged">

Let's go step by step.

Add AutoGenerateSelectButton Property[^] to GridView and assign its value to True. So, Select Button is now automatically added to each Row at the first Cell position.
Add OnSelectedIndexChanged[^] and OnRowDataBound[^] Methods to GridView. So, the GridView Markup will look like below.
