If you want server-side onclick event processing add a hidden column like
this:
<asp:ButtonColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" CommandName="Select"
Visible="False"></asp:ButtonColumn>
and handle ItemDataBound event like this:
protected void myGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
ListItemType itemType = e.Item.ItemType;
if ((itemType == ListItemType.Pager) ||
(itemType == ListItemType.Header) ||
(itemType == ListItemType.Footer))
{
return;
}
LinkButton button = (LinkButton) e.Item.Cells[0].Controls[0];
e.Item.Attributes["onclick"] = this.GetPostBackClientHyperlink
(button, "");
}
The example presumes the the column is the very first one in the grid.
