ASP.NET gridview row onclick

Question

I\'m attempting to have an onclick event added to a row once the data is bound to a gridview webcontrol. The code below is not adding any attributes (checked the viewsource

Answer 1

To do this in jQuery, simply get the row click event like this:

$(document).ready(function () {
    var clickCnt = 0;
    $('table tr').click(function(){
        clickCnt++;
        //Do something 
    });
});

With that, I recommend setting the TR ID to the primary key to the object that is displayed in the row.

I'm using this in the RowDataBound of my GridView, to add the attribute to select the row:

protected void grvSearch_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        switch (e.Row.RowType)
        {
            case DataControlRowType.Header:
                //...
                break;
            case DataControlRowType.DataRow:
                e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='#93A3B0'; this.style.color='White'; this.style.cursor='pointer'");
                if (e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Alternate)
                {
                    e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", String.Format("this.style.color='Black';this.style.backgroundColor='{0}';", grvSearch.AlternatingRowStyle.BackColor.ToKnownColor()));
                }
                else
                {
                    e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", String.Format("this.style.color='Black';this.style.backgroundColor='{0}';", grvSearch.RowStyle.BackColor.ToKnownColor()));
                }
                e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(grvSearch, "Select$" + e.Row.RowIndex.ToString()));
                break;
        }
    }
    catch 
    {
        //...throw
    }
}

And this to catch de event when an user click the row:

protected void grvSearch_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        //Do wherever you want with grvSearch.SelectedIndex                
    }
    catch
    {
        //...throw
    }
}

You can use rowcommand event if it's not working. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.rowcommand.aspx

Answer 4

Is the Grid set up to call dataTbl_RowDataBound event? If you debug with a breakpoint in that event, does that event get fired?
