GridView Select Row By DataKey

I have searched high and low and cannot figure this out. I want
programmaticall y select a row in my GridView based on a primary key
value (DataKey). You would think this is common, but I guess not. It
is easy to do when the data key is on the current page, but doesn't
work when the key is on another page.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hello JeffBuzz,

What does "when the key is on another page" mean?

You can put your key inti the the grid and make that column hidden

I have a dropdownlist in a GridView ItemTemplate. I need to bind the ddl to an SqlDataSource, then have a value from a boundfield in the row be passed as the keyfield for select where clause. Im trying to load the ddl with a list of dates from another table keyed on GridView row field that only apply to this row. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is there a way to use a gridview in a timecard application, and if so, how? I was looking at using a gridview to display a person's hours worked in a week. To do this, many different data records would have to display on the same row to make up a week (the database has a new row for each day entered). But, from what I can tell, this keeps you from being able to use a gridview, because the gridview relies on one datakey per row (and there...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
