N00b here,

Trying to customize a asp.net gridview, and I’m stuck at this part…

In the ItemTemplate, I’ve got a text-box that has a class applied to it where on .keypress(Clientside JS), a asp:LinkButton appears next to it that’s formatted like a Jquery UI icon. I’m stuck at this part. I know that I can “enable editing” for the gridview, but I want to make an edit button only appear on .keypress, which I’ve already achieved. The park I’m stuck at is trying to get the click of that asp:LinkButton to send an update command to the SQLserver to update that db entry accordingly . So far, I’ve got the textbox to be created dynamically for each db item in that column.
Is there a more practical way of doing this while achieving the same results? To be more specific, I’m not really looking for code, cause I’m trying to learn, but more for methods I should take a look at, or other tutorials that I missed on the web.

I would also appreciate some advice, thanks in advance: )

You can try using GridView_RowCommand event to fetch the Command event bubbled by Linkbutton.
