How to make entire Gridview Row clickable and open a new link?

Question

How to make an entire gridview row clickable in ASP.NET?

This is what I am trying at the moment:

  Protected Sub gv_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)
    If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
      e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "location.href='URL.aspx'")
    End If
  End Sub

Each row contains multiple template fields so simply adding a hyperlink to the field is not sufficient in this instance.

  Protected Sub gv_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gv.RowDataBound
    If (e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow) Then
      Dim QueryString As String = DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "QueryString").ToString
      Dim NavigateURL As String = (ResolveUrl("~/URL.aspx?QueryString=" + QueryString))
      e.Row.Attributes.Add("onClick", String.Format("javascript:window.location='{0}';", NavigateURL))
      e.Row.Style.Add("cursor", "pointer")
    End If
  End Sub

        string NavigateURL = ResolveUrl(("~/URL.aspx?QueryString=" + QueryString));
        e.Row.Attributes.Add("onClick", string.Format("javascript:window.location=\'{0}\';", NavigateURL));
        e.Row.Style.Add("cursor", "pointer");
