[Solved] ItemCommand event doesn't fire

[Nicole]

I have a new RadGrid on a page within an existing asp Update Panel.  I have enabled selecting rows, and created an event to run when the user selects a row, and I thought I did what I needed to tell the RadGrid which event to fire, but I can't get the server side event to fire.  Can someone please tell me what am I missing here?

<telerik:RadGrid ID="gridLink" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellSpacing="0" 

            DataSourceID="sdsLinkRecords" GridLines="None" ShowGroupPanel="True" AllowCustomPaging="True" Skin="Simple" 

            OnItemCommand="gridLink_ItemCommand">

            <ClientSettings AllowDragToGroup="True">

                <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />

            </ClientSettings>

            <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="fullID" DataSourceID="sdsLinkRecords">

                <CommandItemSettings ExportToPdfText="Export to PDF" />

                <RowIndicatorColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter RowIndicator column">

                    <HeaderStyle Width="10px" />

                </RowIndicatorColumn>

                <ExpandCollapseColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter ExpandColumn column">

                    <HeaderStyle Width="10px" />

                </ExpandCollapseColumn>

                <Columns>

 ...
                </Columns>

                <EditFormSettings>

                    <EditColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter EditCommandColumn column">

                    </EditColumn>

                </EditFormSettings>

            </MasterTableView>

            <FilterMenu EnableImageSprites="False">

            </FilterMenu>

            <HeaderContextMenu CssClass="GridContextMenu GridContextMenu_Default">

            </HeaderContextMenu>

        </telerik:RadGrid>

Protected Sub gridLink_ItemCommand(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles gridLink.ItemCommand

        If e.CommandName = "Select" Then
            Dim item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
            Dim oldReportsID As String = lblFullSeqNum.Text
            Dim tblIncidentsID As Integer = item("tblIncidentsID").Text

....
        End If

    End Sub

Hello Nicole,

When the ClientSettings.Selecting.AllowRowSelect property is True, it will select a Row with a Click (Client-side). In order to fire the server side event you need to try any of the approach mentioned in the following document.
Selecting a Row with a CheckBox (Server-side)
Selecting a Row with a Select Button (Server-side)

Thanks,
Princy.

Or set ClientSettings > EnablePostBackOnRowClick = true as it is done for the first and second grid on this demo:

Thank you, Sebastian, that's exactly what I needed.  I did not want to require my users to do multiple clicks such as with a select button.

For future reference, I also had to modify my code behind.  Instead of e.CommandName = "Select," I needed:

If e.CommandName = "RowClick" Then
