>>>>>>>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.

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.

>>>Thank you very much. I will try to "translate" your code into jQuery code. I have been studying jQuery over the weekend and am anxious to try it.

function selectRow(i) {

TBH, when I need this type of functionality now I use WebAPI and angular. angular gives you a nice MVVM two-way binding on the client.

>Thank you for the example of using jQuery.
>As to WebAPI and angular, this is the first time I hear about these technologies. You mentioned MVVM but will WebAPI and angular work on ASP.NET Web Forms, as far as you know?

You can use it in a Web Forms application - but where it *is* being used a simple HTML page is probably easier to work with than using a Web Form (aspx) page.
