ASP.NET'S datagrid, edit, update, cancel commands

To do this, you can create this type of column through the UI property builder, and select columns, expand button column, and select "Edit, Update, Cancel".

After you create this type of column here is how you handle it's events...


Protected Sub DataGrid1_CancelCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.CancelCommand

DataGrid1.EditItemIndex = -1
DataGrid1.DataSource = Session("my_dataview")
DataGrid1.DataBind()

End Sub


Protected Sub DataGrid1_EditCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.EditCommand

DataGrid1.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex
DataGrid1.DataSource = Session("my_dataview")
DataGrid1.DataBind()

End Sub



The rebinding is necessary after setting the EditItemIndex. Here I'm just rebinding it to a dataview that I'm storing as a session variable.
