Question

I have a gridview with edit and delete buttons on each row.
I am trying to change the back color or the fore color of the row in the gridview on which the edit button is clicked.

I am using the Row Editing event .Below is my code, the row editing event is not getting fired when I click the edit button.

  protected void GridView1_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
    {
        ClearBackColor();

        GridView1.SelectedIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
        GridView1.SelectedRow.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

        //GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[e.NewEditIndex];
        //row.ForeColor = Color.DarkGreen;

    }

What could be wrong? Please let me know.

Check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.rowcommand.aspx. You are probably missing CommandName=”Edit” on button, so RowEditing will never fire.
