Hi, I would make the column ruleset a LinkButton. In your aspx you create a TemplateField that has a LinkButton like:

<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="lbRuleSet" CommandName="EditGrid" OnCommand="Grid_OnCommand" />

In the codebehind you create a Method like:

 protected void Grid_OnCommand(Object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
        {
            LinkButton btn = (LinkButton)sender;
            GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)btn.NamingContainer;
            if (e.CommandName.Equals("EditGrid"))
            {
                MyGridView.SelectedIndex = row.RowIndex;
                // now you have MyGridView.SelectedValue available and you can 
                // display your details, as I believe you want to now the row the
                // user selected in stead of the clumnnumber it clicked
                MyGridView.SelectedIndex = -1; //to have no selectedrow again
            }

        }
