i have one Gridview (Gridview1) i want to make this Grid editable. For this i have set :

RowEditing = TRUE
RowUpdating = TRUE

After this i have got Edit/Delete button on the extreme Left of the Gridview followed by my Autogenerated columns from the database(Column0 , Column1 ,Column2).

I have written following code in Code Behind :

protected void GridView1_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
    {
        GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
        Fillgrid();

    }
    protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
    {
            for(i=0 ; i < GridView1.Rows.Count-1 ; i ++)
         {

        SqlCommand cmd_update = new SqlCommand(" update myproducts set name = '" + GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[2].Text + "' where id='" + GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[1] + "'");

        }
        GridView1.EditIndex = -1;
        Fillgrid();
      }
}

 public void Fillgrid()
    {
        SqlDataReader reader = null;
        SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("Select * from myproducts",con);
        con.Open();
        reader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
        GridView1.DataSource = reader;
        GridView1.DataBind();


    }

When i click on the Edit label text , my row becomes editable , however when i click on update...nuthing happens..i mean the values do not get updated.

I even inserted a breakpoint on : protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
to check what happens on the click of Update however i was surprised to c that this event is actually not called n hence is not executed !!

Where am i goin wrong....plz suggest....improvement in the above code shall b appreciated.

How did you load the script for the first time.

You must have forgotten to add GridView1_RowUpdating event to the GridView.

I guess there is something wrong with the body of GridView1_RowUpdating method.

When you clik the edit button ,only the row in which you clicked Edit button becomes editable.

Am i right..

So, i guess you should write the code to update only that row.

Well you able to fire the Gridview1_RowUpdating event.

And you are updating all the rows in the GrieView1_RowUpdating method.
You are using loop to iterate through rows.

Were you able to fire the GridView1_RowUpdating event. If not then Check you GridView defintion in aspx page to associate onrowUpdating attribute of GridView.

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" 
            AutoGenerateEditButton="true" AutoGenerateDeleteButton="true" 
            onrowediting="GridView1_RowEditing" onrowupdating="GridView1_RowUpdating" >
        </asp:GridView>
