        <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="lblAddressID" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("StudentName") %>'/>
                <asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server" />
                <asp:Button runat="Server" ID="cmdEdit" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit"/>
        </ItemTemplate>

        <EditItemTemplate>  
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtAddressID" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("StudentName") %>' BackColor="#FFFF66" />        
             <%--   <asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server"/>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            dt = obj.GetDatas();

            DataList1.DataSource = dt;
            DataList1.DataBind();
        }

    }
