Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls

public:
virtual property bool ShowSelectButton {

	void set (bool value);

Property Value

Type: System::Boolean
true to display a Select button in a CommandField; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Use the ShowSelectButton property to specify whether a Select button is displayed in a CommandField field for each record in the data-source control. The Select button allows the user to select a row in the data-source control. When the Select button for a record is clicked, the data-source control responds accordingly. For example, a GridView control updates the SelectedDataKey, SelectedIndex, SelectedRow, and SelectedValue properties to values corresponding to the selected row. The SelectedRowStyle style is then applied to the selected row and the SelectedIndexChanged and SelectedIndexChanging events are raised.

When the ButtonType property of a CommandField field is set to ButtonType.Button or ButtonType.Link, use the SelectText property to specify the text to display for a Select button. Alternatively, you can display an image by first setting the ButtonType property to ButtonType.Image and then setting the SelectImageUrl property.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ShowSelectButton property to display a Select button for each record in a GridView control.
