I have a gridview with 3 columns, only one column is going to be edited by the user. Whenever it is edited I’d like to set one of the other columns to the current time. A “time last updated” if you will. Possible?

Andy’s solution works.
Another method would be to alter the UPDATE sql statement that is associated with the grid. Use GetDate() (or your DB equivalent) in the UPDATE statement like so:
UPDATE MyTable SET usereditvalue = @usereditvalue, mytimestamp = GETDATE()
Optionally with a Where statement:
WHERE MyTable.ID = @oldIDvalue
For doing it this way, read up on parameterized queries and gridview / table keyvalues (for your WHERE statement).
