Change Select Button in GridView

I am building a CRM. It displays information of customers in a GridView. I have Selecting enabled on the GridView. And when Selected, it shows a FormView with more detailed information on the customer that was selected in the GridView. This part is working fine.

I want to make the Customers Name in the Gridview to be the select button that displays the FormView.

My question is, How do I assign the same functionality that the auto generated Select button has, to any other field in the GridView?

You probably want to replace your "Customer Name" column markup with something like this:

<asp:ButtonField DataTextField="customerName" HeaderText="Customer Name" ButtonType="Link" CommandName="Select" />

This will still show your "Customer Name" data (because of the DataTextField attribute), but it is now a LinkButton that has the behavior of your previous "Select" button (because of the CommandName="Select").

For more information, see the MSDN documentation on the ButtonField class.
