Double Clickable Rows with GridView

By double clicking on a row the user could open another form with a details view of that row. This type of functionality could easily be achieved with two separate buttons on each row of a GridView but I needed something better than that.
Create an new web application with a default page.Add a GridView and bind some data to it. Add asp:ButtonField controls using the edit columns option on the GridView. Give this button fields command name of DoubleClick. So the entire code looks like:

<Columns>

<asp:ButtonField Text="DoubleClick" CommandName="DoubleClick" Visible="false" />

</Columns>



protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)

{

if (e.CommandName == "DoubleClick")

{

 this.Message.Text += "Double clicked GridView row at index "

+ _selectedIndex.ToString();

}

}

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

{

LinkButton doubleClickButton = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[0].Controls[0];      

// Get the javascript which is assigned to this LinkButton

string _jsDouble =Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackClientHyperlink(doubleClickButton, "");

// Add this javascript to the ondblclick Attribute of the row

e.Row.Attributes["ondblclick"] = _jsDouble;  

}

}



protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)

{

// The client scripts for GridView1 were created in GridView1_RowDataBound

foreach (GridViewRow r in gvPropertyList.Rows)

{

if (r.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

{

Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(r.UniqueID + "$ctl00");

Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(r.UniqueID + "$ctl01");

}

}

base.Render(writer);

}
