use link button or button in the gridview row.
Here i am giving an example of using link button.

XML

<asp:GridView ID="grdDoc" runat="server" AllowPaging="True"
            AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="DOCCODE" Height="40px"
            PageSize="8" ShowFooter="True"   Visible="false"
            onpageindexchanging="grdDoc_PageIndexChanging"
            onselectedindexchanged="grdDoc_SelectedIndexChanged" >       <PagerSettings Mode="NumericFirstLast" />
            <RowStyle BackColor="WhiteSmoke" BorderColor="CornflowerBlue" ForeColor="Black"Height="30px" /> <Columns><asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Dose">
   <ItemTemplate> <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" CommandName="select"Text='<%#Eval("DOCCODE")%>'></asp:LinkButton>                  </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:BoundField DataField="DOCNAME" HeaderText="Description" />
            </Columns>
            <FooterStyle BackColor="Silver" Height="25px" />
            <PagerStyle BackColor="DarkGray" />
            <HeaderStyle BackColor="#000084" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
        </asp:GridView>

In gridview SelectedIndexChanged event
write ur code

C#

protected void grdDoc_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           txtDocCode.Text = Convert.ToString(grdDoc.SelectedDataKey.Value);
           txtDocName.Text = Convert.ToString(grdDoc.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text);
           grdDoc.Visible = false;
       }
