Remarks

Use the ShowEditButton property to specify whether an Edit button is displayed in the CommandField field for each record in the data-source control. The Edit button allows you to edit the values of a record.

When the user clicks an Edit button, input controls are displayed for each field in the record. The Edit button for the record is replaced with an Update button and a Cancel button, and all other command buttons for the record are hidden. Clicking the Update button updates the record with the new values in the data source, whereas clicking the Cancel button cancels the operation.

Note

When a data-bound control is used in combination with a data source control (such as a SqlDataSource control), the data-bound control can take advantage of the data source control's capabilities and provide automatic updating functionality. For other data sources, you must provide the routines to perform the update operation during the appropriate event for the data-bound control.

When the ButtonType property of a CommandField field is set to ButtonType.Button or ButtonType.Link, use the EditText property to specify the text to display for an Edit button. Alternatively, you can display an image by first setting the ButtonType property to ButtonType.Image and then setting the EditImageUrl property.
