click row in gridview

hiiiiiiiii I am trying to do the following : I have a gridview and I want to fire a function(C# function) when I click over the row (any where) this my code :

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{

    string alertBox = "alert('";
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        alertBox +=e.Row.Cells[0].Text;
        alertBox += "')";
        e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", alertBox);
    }
}
public void test()
{
    Response.Write("ffff");
}

this is working ..and every time I click over the gridview I found an alert ...but I want to fire C# function(like test function in the code) how to do that thanks

From stackoverflow

• Make your changes in client script or initiate a postback to the server to run the server method.

• You can emulate GridView command (for example 'SelectCommand') then catch RowCommand event and call your method. Like this:

  
  protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
  {
  ...
  e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:__doPostBack('" + GridView1.ClientID + "','SelectCommand$" + e.Row.RowIndex.ToString() + "')")
  ...
  }
  
  protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
  {
    if (e.CommandName == "SelectCommand") {
      // ...
    }
  }
  
  

  Tadas : So, I was a little bit wrong :). Better emulate a custom command, not Select. See my answer. But my previous suggestion should work too. Try to add javascript: before __doPostBack().

  Tadas : Hmm, I don't know. When you click a row do you get postback?

• To execute a code-behind method with a postback you would have to manually initiate a postback. Essentially you would be wiring up your own event outside of the GridView control because the "RowClick" event doesn't exist - See Tadas' answer.

  Alternatively you could execute the code-behind method without a postback. You could use an Ajax callback. See Ajax Page Methods in ASP.Net.
