How to Set NavigateUrl for that AutogeneratedEdit

Answer 1

Don’t auto generate the edit. Put a field in the grid view declaration for it. In the field, put an anchor tag runat server. OnRowCreated, find the anchor control and set the href to your URL. I have done it that way several times. I can provide sample code if needed.

UPDATE: Sample Code Below

In ASPX/ASCX:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView" runat="server" OnRowCreated="RowCreated">
<Columns>
    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Action">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <a ID="lnkDelete" runat="server">Action</a>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

In Codebehind:

protected void RowCreated(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        HtmlAnchor deleteButton = (HtmlAnchor)e.Row.FindControl("lnkDelete");

        //Do your stuff with that delete button
    }
}
