    <p>Is it possible to put focus back on a gridview row after that a selection of the row generates a postback?</p> <p>I'm trying to add an onkeydown handler on the gridview rows in order to use the keyboard for navigation. My problem, I believe, is that after the first postback, the selected cell loses focus, and so the next key stroke is not caught by the cell.</p> <p>I have the following code</p> <p>The grid view</p> <pre><code> &lt;asp:GridView runat="server" ID="gdvPersons" AutoGenerateColumns="false" onrowcreated="gdvPersons_RowCreated" onselectedindexchanged="gdvPersons_SelectedIndexChanged"&gt; &lt;Columns&gt; &lt;asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name"&gt; &lt;ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;%# ((GridviewFocus.Person) Container.DataItem).Name %&gt; &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/asp:TemplateField&gt; &lt;asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Age"&gt; &lt;ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;%# ((GridviewFocus.Person) Container.DataItem).Age %&gt; &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/asp:TemplateField&gt; &lt;/Columns&gt; &lt;/asp:GridView&gt; </code></pre> <p>The Code behind</p> <pre><code> protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { var persons = new List&lt;Person&gt; {new Person() {Name = "Fikre", Age = 24}, new Person() {Name = "Mike", Age = 29}, new Person() {Name = "Mark", Age = 35}}; gdvPersons.DataSource = persons; gdvPersons.DataBind(); } protected void gdvPersons_RowCreated(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) e.Row.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference((Control)sender, "Select$" + e.Row.DataItemIndex)); } protected void gdvPersons_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { gdvPersons.SelectedRow.Focus(); } </code></pre>

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.
