1st row selected on page load?

[Megan]

In the SelectedIndexChanged event of my page I use code to grab information the selected row, store it in a session and present the data in textboxes below the grid:

  

 

For Each item As GridDataItem In MyGrid.SelectedItems

    Dim sCode As String = Trim(item("sCode").Text.ToString())
    Session("sCode") = sValidationId
Next

 

 

txtCode.Text = Session("sCode")
 

 

I'd like to be able to have the first set of data already loaded into the textboxes once the page is loaded, so the user does not need to make a selection to fill the textboxes on load.

As the title states, how can I have the first row of my grid already selected when the page loads?

Hi Megan,

Try the following code snippet in the Prerender event of the Grid.

CS:

   protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //to set the first row of the Grid Selected on page load
        if (!IsPostBack)
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[0].Selected = true;

        //to populate the TextBox with selected row's cell value
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.SelectedItems)
        {
            TextBox1.Text = item["columnUniqueName"].Text;
        }

    }

Thanks
