Can't select a row in DataGrid control

[Zachary Hilbun]

I'm using a DataGrid control in a web form. I can display it using binding
but when I click on any of the items there is no feedback that that row has
been selected. I changed SelectedItemStyle but the changes do not appear
when a row is clicked. What do I need to do to get it to do selection?

Handle the ItemCommand event and set the SelectedIndex.

Includea button in your <ItemTemplate> section:
<ASP:Button CommandName="Select" Text="Info" runat="server" />

Add OnItemCommand="DoItemSelect" to your DataGrid and use an event handler
like this:

Sub DoItemSelect(objSource As Object, objArgs As DataGridCommandEventArgs)

'see if it was the Select button that was clicked
If objArgs.CommandName = "Select" Then

'set the SelectedIndex property of the list to this item's index
MyDataGrid.SelectedIndex = objArgs.Item.ItemIndex
BindDataGrid() 'bind the data and display it

End If

End Sub

I've got the DataGrid working for selection but from what I can tell the
DataGrid only allows you to select 1 row at a time. Is this true? I wanted
to select several rows in some list before a postback was done. Is a
ListBox the only control I can use if I want multiple selection? Will it
require a postback for each selection?

You can use checkbox in each of the row for allowing users to select that
row. To knwo how to implement this in datagrid, read this article.
