Question

I have an application that displays the data of a sql database in a dataGridView
via a dataSet. I was wondering if there was a way of updating the database by modifying the gridViewDirectly, like passing the data from the database to the grid, but inverted, instead of creating a new form that displays the editable info in textboxes and then the user changes what he has to change and clicks update.
Is this possible?

Answer 1

you can put a button column in datagridview and when you press the button you can begin to edit dgv cells.

info: how can i add two buttons to a single datagrid column dynamically?

Define DataGridView Column type Programmatically

If you need any other information about that please feel free to say

Edit:

You can do like this :

 DataGridViewButtonColumn clbt_delet = new DataGridViewButtonColumn();
   clbt_delete.HeaderText = "DELETE"
   clbt_delete.Text = "Delete";
   clbt_delete.UseColumnTextForButtonValue = true;
   dataGridView1.Columns.Add(clbt_delete);
