Hi Bonnie,

To be more precise in my question, let me explain exactly what I wanted to accomplish and may be you suggest some approach (though it's ASP.NET question, but general principles should apply).

I want to highlight a grid record when I mouse over it and remove highlight with mouse out.

The website uses mostly controls right from the Toolbox (no custom controls).

For the particular page I was working on I have two grids. In one grid I added necessary functionality in RowCreated method. In another grid I just called the same Event Handler grdDeleteUser_RowCreated().

However, this doesn't look entirely kosher to me... I'd rather have both different handlers call custom function.

Or, may be even better, have a generic GridView class that have this functionality programmed and other properties set.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with having one event handler take care of an event for more than one control. Say I have several TextBoxes on my Form, but in the Validated event of each one, I want to do the exact same thing.
