vb Move gridview selected row to top. 1

[Dashley]

I have a gridview with 168 rows. When I select a row I want that row to highlight (which it is ) but I also want it to become the top row in the gridview or at least postback to the selected row.

I've had the page directive set to "MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback ="true" "
Focus() - ing it wont move it.

Any Ideas been researching this for an hour with no luck. I might not be phrasing it correctly or something

Thanks

Do you mean you want to scroll the page to the row that is selected and have it at the top of the page.
First I suggest using paging.
Second, you will need to use javascript to do the scrolling. I suggest you look into JQuery to make task a bit easier.

Hi,


I'd be happy if the selected row remained in view although I would prefer at top.
I'm so used to doing it easily with the datagridview in a form. The datagrid is a different story HA.
OK I'll give the paging a while and look into the Jquery.

Thank you

Web Forms vs Windows Forms is very different.
What you want can be done in a few ways:
1.) There are probably 3rd party controls like the Telerik RadGrid that can do it.
2.) Client side: Call a handler to get the data and use javascript to sort the rows and put your selected row on top.
3.) Server side: When selected, post back to the server, retrieve data again and force your row to the top with sorting (I would us a stored procedure to get and sort the data)
