    1. COThank you for the reply. This still seems to be the problem. 'e.Row.Cells(index).Text' is always empty, so there is nothing to test against. The query is select * from [ThisTable] and the Gridview is set for AutogenerateColumns = True, and there are no Bound Fields in the <asp: columns becasue it's all dynamic. I'm starting to think this is not an ability of .net to do this dynamically which is a shame.

    2. COI updated my answer and added a complete example (very simple but should be essentially the same thing you have described). Could you please test if this simple example works for you? Try to test with the manually created data (comment out the sql stuff and uncomment the data table generation code) and with a simple sql statement. As I said, this works for me. Maybe you have some special case? What kind of data source do you use? A `DataTable` or something else? Generally ASP.NET is capable of your described task.

    3. COLooks like that did the trick. Thank you very much!! Not sure if it's a .NET 2.0 thing but I had to prefix the types ie, DataTable and SQLClient with System.Data. first to get it working. Wish I thought of that sooner, I thought those types were missing in ASP.NET I'm actually mixing a bit of Classic ASP with .NET to get some new features in this old hunk of junk. I appreciate the kind help.

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
