Lou is correct.
I caused the selection through commandName="Select" in the button
definition:

<COLUMNS>
<asp:ButtonColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" CommandName="Select"
DataTextField="Name"></asp:ButtonColumn>
</COLUMNS>

Octavio

In my limited experience, it is a row. However, I found that I needed in
VS.NET to go to design view for the page and insert a column of buttons
in the grid and then give the buttons the property of causing a
selection. You would normally want the selection action to have some
consequences that would be coded in a function invoked when the
selection occurs.

Of the datagrid tableitemstyle objects most seem to do what I would
expect, but the usage of:

<asp:datagrid>
<selecteditemstyle backcolor="red"></selecteditemstyle>
</asp:datagrid>

I cannot observe. What is the selected item a row or cell? Why does it
not
seem to show up as an effect?
