Remarks

When the ButtonType property of a CommandField field is set to ButtonType.Image, use the EditImageUrl property to specify the image to display for an Edit button. This image can be in any file format (.jpg, .gif, .bmp, and so on), as long as the client's browser supports that format.

Note

As an alternative to displaying an image for an Edit button, you can display text by first setting the ButtonType property to ButtonType.Button or ButtonType.Link and then setting the EditText property.
