Select Griview row by clicking anywhere

1. Add a CommandArgument to the link button.

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkBtn3" runat="server" CommandName="Date" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("id") %>'  Text='<%#Eval("id") %>' Font-Underline="false" ForeColor="Black"></asp:LinkButton>

2. In the RowDataBound event

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(DirectCast(sender, System.Web.UI.Control), "Select$" + e.Row.RowIndex.ToString()))

3. Then on the RowCommand Event:

If e.CommandName = "Select" Then
            GrvDraft.EditIndex = e.CommandArgument
End If

4. If you get this error: Invalid postback or callback argument. Add this.

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Render(ByVal writer As HtmlTextWriter)
For i As Integer = 0 To Me.GrvDraft.Rows.Count - 1
Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(Me.GrvDraft.UniqueID, "Select$" & i)
Next
MyBase.Render(writer)
End Sub
