# Events

You can subscribe to [all Grid events](https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/documentation/api/kendo.mvc.ui.fluent/grideventbuilder) and then use them to further customize the behavior of the Grid.

The example below demonstrates how to use the [`Change` event](https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/documentation/api/kendo.mvc.ui.fluent/grideventbuilder#changesystemstring) that the Grid generates when the user selects a table row or a cell.

```Razor HtmlHelper
    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.CustomerViewModel>()
        .Name("grid")
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(c => c.ContactName).Title("Contact Name").Width(240).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Multi(true));
            columns.Bound(c => c.ContactTitle).Title("Contact Title");
            columns.Bound(c => c.CompanyName).Title("Company Name");
            columns.Bound(c => c.Country).Title("Country").Width(150);
        })
        .Groupable()
        .Selectable()
        .Events(events => events
            .Change("onChange")
        )
        .Sortable()
        .Pageable(pageable => pageable
            .Refresh(true)
            .PageSizes(true)
            .ButtonCount(5))
        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
            .Ajax()
            .Read(read => read.Action("Orders_Read", "Grid"))
            .PageSize(20)
        )
    )

    <script>
            function onChange(e) {
                var selectedRow = this.select();
                var dataItem = this.dataItem(selectedRow);
                console.log(dataItem)
            }
   </script>
```
