gridview is a data web server control in asp.net development tools. it show tabular data.
so gridview can present data as table columns and rows. you can make easily a gridview row selectable
by set it AutoGenerateSelectButton property value to true. for better user experience you can design
your gridview by setting different background color for selected row. when someone select a row from
gridview then the selected row's background color will be change. so they can easily identify which
row is selected.
