>>>On the same page I have a GridView bound to a dataset. Below the GridView there is a textbox (or several textboxes). As user navigates through the GridView (clicking on this or that row) I want the value/text in the textbox(s) to be updated according to new row in the dataset. My understanding is I need to bind the textbox(s) to the same dataset. How do you do it? An example, of one textbox binding to the dataset would be very helpful.

>I prefer not to make the "trip" back to the server. I am working on having a button field on the GridView and wire it to a method of the page. The only thing I don't know - yet - if the page has to be reposted on the call to this method. If so I will look for way to do it with jQuery so there is no reposting of the page and no trip back to the server.

Not quite so easy. Wire up the GridView.RowDataBound event in c#:
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:void selectRow(this);");
}
}
then script on the page:
function selectRow(i) {
document.getElementById("TextBox1").value = i.cells[5].innerText;
}
