Select a row for highlighting - Gridview control with checkbox

I have a checkbox column in my gridview control. I want to make it so on checkchanged it selects the row or deselects the row so the row is highlighted. Here is the code I have so far. I just need to select the row now.

Protected Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim CB As CheckBox
CB = CType(sender, CheckBox)

If CB.Checked = True Then
'select the row so its highlighted
ElseIf CB.Checked = False Then
'unselect the row so its no longer highlighted
End If
End Sub

Protected Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim CB As CheckBox
CB = CType(sender, CheckBox)

If CB.Checked = True Then
//I'm doing a cast on CheckBox parent to GridViewRow and then setting its color, do this in VB
((GridViewRow)CB.parent).BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; //C# code, you must fit to VB
ElseIf CB.Checked = False Then
//I'm doing a cast on CheckBox parent to GridViewRow and then setting its color, do this in VB
((GridViewRow)CB.parent).BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White; //C# code, you must fit to VB
End If
End Sub
