    Hi, I am having trouble getting an idea of how to approach this issue.  A brief breakdown of how my code is setup. 

    The aspx page I am working on is a simple query page into a database.  When a user enters search text into a ASP:textbox, and they select to submit, it launches a sub function which creates a SQLconnection to the database and then binds it to a gridview.  This is done in the script section for the page.  The 2nd part which I am getting stuck on is how do I get to read which item a user selects, and subsequently displays more detailed information pertaining to that record.  I am not using the SQLDATASOURCE commands, so I have no clue how I pass the appropriate information from the gridview over to the detailsview in order for correct information to be displayed. 

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hey Malange,

    I got it figured out. 

    Basically, what I ended up doing was create a whole new sub-routine, that based on when a user clicks the SELECT button on the gridview it makes a ONSELECTEDINDEXCHANGE to the sub-routine, which runs the correct SQL command to get all of the data desired in the detailsview.  The way by which I passed the selected record was by using the DATAKEYS value in the gridview.  Works great.

    Thanks.
