Question on accessing a nested GridViews Events

[Scooby Dog]

Could somone please help:




how do you access a GridView's events like SelectedIndexChanged when it's
nested within another grid. the inner grid is populated via the outer grids
rowdatabound.

Here is an example of what my grids look like:
http://www.giswiz.com/nested_gridview_dropdown/





I have a page with a nested Gridview control within an outer Gridview
(Master/Child). ie: GridView1 -> GridView2. I have the inner grid being
populated via the outer grids RowDatabound event. The goal of the whole
thing is to show a customer record in the outer grid and then when a user
clicks on the expand button of the outer row an inner grid drops down
showing all the related Item records. I have the grids populating and
displaying correctly but I need to have access to the inner grid's events
like SelectedIndexChanged and Sorting to add required functionality to the
page. I have tried hard coding events to the inner grid like

OnSelectedIndexChanged="gvItems_SelectedIndexChanged" and then adding the
code behind for that sub but I get an error stating that it's not ASP.net
Default.





Here is the code from the outer grids gvInqStatus_RowDataBound() which binds
the inner grid.


If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
Dim gv As GridView = e.Row.FindControl("gvItems")


Dim ID As Integer = CType(e.Row.Cells(1).Text, Integer)
Dim db As New PurchInquiryDataContext
Dim items = From i In db.Items Where i.FK_InqID = ID _
Select New With {.ItemID = i.ItemID, .Quantity =
i.Qty, .Description = i.Description, _
.Grade = i.Grade, .Feet =
i.Feet, .Inches = i.Inches}

gv.DataSource = items
gv.DataBind()

End If




Here is the html for the gridviews

You may have to have both Gridviews point to the same
OnSelectedIndexChanged()

void GridView_SelectedIndexChanged(Object sender, GridViewSelectEventArgs e)
{
//based on what GridView is the 'sender' GridView1 or GridView2

var gridview = (GridView)sender; // cast it

if(gridview.ID == "GridView1"
{
// dosomething
}
else
{
// dosomething for GV2
}


}
