Gridview Selected Index Changed

I have an aspx page that has a gridview and a form view.

When the page loads the gridview is filled with data.

When a user selects a row in the grid view i want the form view to be updated to that record.

Here is what I am trying

In the GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged... But it does not work... Any Ideas?

Thanks

Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged
MsgBox("It was selected")
FormView1.DataBind()

End Sub

How do you select the row? Do you have a Select column?

Yes there is a select row column

Then the selectedindexchanged event should fire. Have you put a breakpoint on it to see if it is?

Yes, and it is firing

so I have this The msgbox tells me the event fired, then I am doing the formview1.databind, but the formview does not update to the selected record.

Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged
MsgBox("It was selected")
FormView1.DataBind()

End Sub

How does formview know what record to show?

Well I am not sure, I was assuming because both the formview and the dataview are using the same sql data source

I got it.

Protected Sub GridView1_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCommand
Dim RowIndex As Integer = Convert.ToInt16(e.CommandArgument.ToString)

Dim gv As GridView = CType(sender, GridView)
Dim PgIndex As Integer = gv.PageIndex

Dim PgSize As Integer = gv.PageSize
FormView1.PageIndex = RowIndex + (PgIndex * PgSize)

FormView1.DataBind()

End Sub
