Programatically mimic CTRL+A in a DataGrid in ASP.NET?

Question

The title says it all. I need to select an entire DataGrid like the keystroke CTRL+A. For example: instead of selecting the datagrid with the mouse, the user just clicks a button and the datagrid is selected. Is it possible?

While I can't imagine the purpose of something like this, it sounds like you'll need to use javascript for this. Add a button/link to the page and then use something like this script to highlight/select all the text within the DataGrid.
