Edit Template in GridView Control

Some times you may want to edit items in a GridView control but you don't want every column to be editable. To do this you need to set the READONLY property to false.

ex)asp:boundfield visible="false">"

The columns that you want to edit you need to create a
instead of using the and set the contorls (one to manage the data and one to enable the edit row index by postback) that will handle the edit in the . In the example below, I have a which will handle the edit and a to postback and edit the GridView.
EditIndex property. You will have to rebind the grid for the edit template to display. Below

Ex)
"

<asp:BoundField ReadOnly="true" DataField="PPemployeeid" HeaderText="EMPID" SortExpression="PPemployeeid" HeaderStyle-ForeColor="Black" HeaderStyle-Wrap="false" ItemStyle-Wrap="false" ItemStyle-Width="50px"/>

protected void lkbEditFT_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)

this.gvData.EditIndex = 2;
this.gvData.DataSource = myData.Tables[0];
this.gvData.DataBind();
}

The grid should look like this after postback
