System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   GridView Class

.NET Framework version 2.0

Returns a GridViewRow object that represents the selected row in the GridView control.

This property can only be used programmatically; it cannot be set when declaring the control.

The property is read only with no default value.

Use the SelectedRow property to get a GridViewRow object that represents the selected row in the GridView control. This object can then be used to access the properties of the selected row.

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically set the style properties of the SelectedRow in the GridView control at run time.

void chgSelectedProps ( Object src, EventArgs e ) { 
   if ( myGrid.SelectedRow != null ) {
      myGrid.SelectedRow.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Khaki;
      myGrid.SelectedRow.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Maroon;
      myGrid.SelectedRow.Font-Bold = true;
   }
}

Sub chgSelectedProps ( src As Object, e As EventArgs )
   If Not ( myGrid.SelectedRow Is Nothing ) Then
      myGrid.SelectedRow.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Khaki
      myGrid.SelectedRow.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Maroon
      myGrid.SelectedRow.Font-Bold = True
   End If
End Sub
