What is the Equivalent of the CurrentRowIndex Property for a DataGrid Web Control?

.NETn00b

I am trying to convert the following windows app method, to use in an
ASP.NET application:

private void DataGrid1_CurrentCellChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

     int c = DataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex;
     DataGrid1.Select(c);
     DataGrid1_Click( sender, e);

}

The problem is that there is no CurrentRowIndex property for the
DataGrid web control. Is there something else I can use, that will give
me similar functionality?

I also need to figure out what I can use in place of the Select method,
which also doesn't exist for the DataGrid web control. Would
SelectedIndex work? Can this method be adapted?

Thanks!!!

There is an OnItemCommand event that is triggered when a button within a row
is clicked which provides you with a parameter of type
DataGridCommandEventArgs. This parameter supplies you with the equivalent of
the CurrentRowIndex through its Item.ItemIndex property.

In place of the select method you can add a Hyperlink or a LinkButton that
triggers the selection. You can view the code for these methods in these
demos:
