Selecting Child Template does not change parent row

[Michael]

Hi,

I'm having a problem where I have a gridview with a master and child template.  I noticed that the parent row doesn't seem to be changing when I select a child row from a different row unless I select the parent row first.  The parent row will only change when I select the parent row directly.  If I move from one expanded child row to another expanded child row (a different parent record) this will not update any bound textbox controls with the parent row values.  The previous row values remain in the bound textbox controls.

I may be missing something obvious here but I would have thought that selecting childrows in different records should change the underlying parent record.

Thanks for any advice on this.

This worked for me to get the parentrow selected when the associated childrow is clicked.  In case its of use to anyone else.

//Selecting a childrow sets the linked parentrow as current to update any databound controls


GridViewTemplate template = myGridView.CurrentRow.ViewTemplate;

e.Row.ViewInfo.ParentRow.IsCurrent = true;
