Use the CancelText property to specify the text to display for the Cancel command button in the EditCommandColumn.
Note
You must provide a value for the CancelText property. Otherwise, the Cancel command button will not appear in the EditCommandColumn.
The value of this property is stored in view state.
The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
