How to programmatically select GridView row so that "OnSelectedIndexChanged" event fires

Question

I have <asp:GridView> that has a select, edit, delete and insert links within its rows. I want to trigger the OnSelectedIndexChanged after I insert a row. Can someone help??

Answer 1

Simply select the row by calling the GridView.SelectRow(int rowIndex) method, passing the index of the new row. This will fire the SelectedIndexChanged event (*)

(*) To be more precise, it will first fire the SelectedIndexChanging event, then only fire SelectedIndexChanged if none of the SelectedIndexChanging event handlers has set cancel to true.
