Gets or sets the index of the new row to select in the GridView control.
(in System.Web.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property NewSelectedIndex As Integer
Dim instance As GridViewSelectEventArgs
Dim value As Integer
value = instance.NewSelectedIndex
instance.NewSelectedIndex = value
public int NewSelectedIndex { get; set; }
public:
property int NewSelectedIndex {
int get ();
void set (int value);
}
public function get NewSelectedIndex () : int
public function set NewSelectedIndex (value : int)
Because the SelectedIndexChanging event occurs before the GridView control performs the select operation, the SelectedIndex property of the control cannot be used to determine the index of the new row selected by the user. The SelectedIndex property still contains the index of the previously selected row. To determine the index of the new row selected by the user, use the NewSelectedIndex property. You can also use this property to programmatically override the row index selected by the user by setting it to another value.
The following example demonstrates how to use the NewSelectedIndex property to determine the index of the row selected by the user.
