The ItemTemplate would serve as the normal view and the SelectedTemplate would server as the view for the page when a selection is done. It is also in this part where we have placed the DataGrid since we want to show the details based on selection. Also note that we have setupped the CommandArgument for The linkbutton to the Fullname column
