GridView Web Server Control Events
The GridView control raises a number of events in the course of paging through and updating its bound data to which your code can respond.
GridView Events
The GridView control exposes paging and sorting events, and events that occur when the current row is created or bound to data. Events are also raised when a command control such as a Button control that is included as part of the GridView control has been clicked. The following table describes the events exposed by the GridView control.
RowCommand
Occurs when a button is clicked in the GridView control. This event is often used to perform a task when a button is clicked in the control.PageIndexChanging
Occurs when a pager button is clicked, but before the GridView control performs the paging operation. This event is often handled to cancel the paging operation.PageIndexChanged
Occurs when a pager button is clicked, but after the GridView control performs the paging operation. This event is commonly handled when you need to perform a task after the user navigates to a different page in the control.SelectedIndexChanging
Occurs when a row's Select button (a button with its CommandName property set to "Select") within a GridView control is clicked, but before the GridView control performs the select operation. This event is often handled to cancel the selection operation.SelectedIndexChanged
