How to set the datagrid in edit mode

[David Sagenaut]

Can I set a whole datagrid in edit mode, like a table? I can edit the data
in the datagrid. After done, I can click the save button to save the data
into a datasousce. I don't want to used the build-in edit function in the
datagrid in which you only can edit one line at a time. I want to edit
whole datagrid and save it just once. Thanks in advance.

If your DataGrid EditTemplates display only textboxes, you would get the
outcome you desire by replacing the BoundColumns with TemplateColumns that
define only the ItemTemplate with textboxes; in which case you get only the
edit mode.

<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat=server Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"FieldName")%>'></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
