How do I select the row using server side with just a click on the row?

[Andre Vovan]

Hey, everytime I use client allow row selection I can get the entire row to be highlighted.

How do I just click on the row and do the same for the server side selection?  I really don't want a button or a checkbox to select the row, I just want to click on the row once and be able to select the row.

Thanks

Hello Peter,

In order to select a row on the client, have it post back to the server, and raise the SelectedIndexChanged event on the server, you have to set two simple properties. In the <ClientSettings> collection of your RadGrid, set the AllowRowSelect and EnablePostBackOnRowClick properties to true. Here is a quick example:

	<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server"
	OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
	OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged">
	<ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true">
	<Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
	</ClientSettings>
	</telerik:RadGrid>

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Kevin Babcock

Hi Peter,

You can also try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

 <ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true" >
               </ClientSettings>

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "RowClick")
        {
            e.Item.Selected = true;
        }
    }

Hope this helps..
Shinu.
