Multually Exclusive Selection in Data Grid???

[SStory]

How can I get the select link button to select one item and unselect all the
rest????

Like radio buttons?

Thanks,

Shane

This should work that way automatically, but you can add in the event
handler for the select command:

datagrid.selectedItemIndex = e.item.itemindex

hmm....

Well I was reading in ASP.NET Unleashed and it showed me checking in the
ItemCommand handler to see if it was selected and if so setting a color.

Is there a better way?

thanks,

Shane

The selected item color can be set at design-time through the property of
the selectedItem template. Changing the grid's selected item to show in
that color is about the only functionality that the grid does without any
code needed. You may want to make sure that your grid.DataBind call is only
being done on secondary page loads:

Sub Page_Load()
If Not IsPostBack()
grid.DataBind()
End If
End Sub
