C# – GridView OnSelectedIndexChanged event not firing

asp.netcgridview

I am trying to get the selected row of the GridView, and I know that I should be able to get that information based on the OnSelectedIndexChanged event. Whenever I click on the row, the event does not fire.

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" GridLines="None"
  Width="930px" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" 
  onselectedindexchanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged2">
  <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
  <EditRowStyle BackColor="#2461BF" />
  <FooterStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
  <HeaderStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
  <PagerStyle BackColor="#2461BF" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
  <RowStyle BackColor="#EFF3FB" />
  <SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#D1DDF1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
  <SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#F5F7FB" />
  <SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#6D95E1" />
  <SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#E9EBEF" />
  <SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#4870BE" />
</asp:GridView>

protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged2(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //string company = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[0].Text;
    Response.Redirect("Client_View.aspx", false);

}

Any help with this would be appreciated. There is no code that I can see that resets its reference to another event, that I can see.

If you are just clicking on the row in the GridView, that will not fire the event. You have to have some kind of button in the row to click on, which will fire the RowCommand event, as well as the SelectedIndexChanged event (if the row you click is not already selected, of course). It's not exactly like the Windows Forms DataGridView =)

The easiest way to get the event to fire, is to add this attribute to your GridView markup:

AutoGenerateSelectButton="True"

This creates a "Select" LinkButton, which will fire the Gridview1_SelectedIndexChanged2 event in your code-behind when you click it.

EDIT: Just to clarify, this is where you need to add that attribute:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" GridLines="None" 
  Width="930px" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333"  
  onselectedindexchanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged2"
  AutoGenerateSelectButton="True" >

You can implement an async handler like this:

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

public class FileHandler : IHttpAsyncHandler
{
    #region Variables
    private HttpContext _currentContext = null;

    protected SqlCommand _command = null;
    protected delegate void DoNothingDelegate();
    #endregion

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
    }

    public void DoNothing()
    {
    }

    public bool IsReusable
    {
        get { return false; }
    }

    #region IHttpAsyncHandler Members
    public IAsyncResult BeginProcessRequest(HttpContext context, AsyncCallback cb, object extraData)
    {

        _currentContext = context;

        int imageId;
        if (int.TryParse(context.Request.QueryString["imageId"], out imageId))
        {
            // begin get file - make you own
            // return FileController.BeginGetFile(out _command, cb, extraData, imageId);
        }
        else
        {
            DoNothingDelegate doNothingDelegate = new DoNothingDelegate(DoNothing);

            return doNothingDelegate.BeginInvoke(cb, extraData);
        }
    }

    public void EndProcessRequest(IAsyncResult result)
    {
        File file = null;
        if (null != _command)
        {
            try
            {   
                // end get file - make your own
                // file = FileController.EndGetFile(_command, result);
            }
            catch { }
        }

        if (null != file)
        {
            // in my case File entity may be stored as a binary data
            //or as an URL
            // here is URL processing - redirect only
            if (null == file.Data)
            {
                _currentContext.Response.Redirect(file.Path);
            }
            else
            {
                _currentContext.Response.ContentType = file.ContentType;
                _currentContext.Response.BinaryWrite(file.Data);
                _currentContext.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "filename=\"" + file.Name + (file.Name.Contains(file.Extension) ? string.Empty : file.Extension) + "\"" );
                _currentContext.Response.AddHeader("content-length", (file.Data == null ? "0" : file.Data.Length.ToString()));

            }

            _currentContext.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Private);
            _currentContext.Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now);
            _currentContext.Response.Cache.SetSlidingExpiration(false);
            _currentContext.Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(false);
                        _currentContext.Response.Flush();
        }
        else
        {
            throw new HttpException(404, HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject("Image", "NotFound") as string);
        }
    }
    #endregion
}

And set necessary values to the cache headers.

EDIT: Guess, in this case it would be better to use headers instead of using Cache object.

Html – Does not show dynamic submenus of the Menu control in asp.net

I solved this problem. Internet explorer 8 does not recognize this format. We need to add set z-index property to 9999 in CSS file to overcome this problem.

The solution is:

CSS Class (site.CSS)

.submenucontrol
{ 
  z-index:9999;
}

Add following tag in the menu control. (In Menu control)

<DynamicMenuStyle CssClass="submenucontrol" />
