Data Binding and Edit/Update/Cancel Chicken-and-Egg Problem

[dcouture]

Would you be able to help me out on this one? I've got a DataGrid
control that I create dynamically - no problem there. I also add a
hyperlink column - again no problem. Now I'm adding the
Edit/Update/Cancel column - Problem! The issue is that since the user
may have done editing, I don't want to do a DataBind() when I'm
reloading the page. However, I seem to need to do the DataBind() to get
the hyperlink and Edit/Update/Cancel columns to redisplay. The only
site that I found that had an answer to this question... required
payment! Ugh! Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Dcouture,

You can try following logic:

if (postback){
if (datagrid.EditItemIndex > -1){
// get Edit Item
item = datagrid.Items(datagrid.EditItemIndex);
// process data in the item
}
}
DataBind()

HTH
