I think "OnRowEditing="gvTest_Edit" belongs on line 12 with the gridview control, not on the button control.

o wow ! that was so stupid of m, even i did something like this before but couldn't find out this time but thanks jorGem

btw one thing that i have been searching since many days that confuses me is that the difference between ONCOMMNAD and ONROWCOMMAND,
Oncommand methid use parameters like "DELTEROW" EDITROW while ONROWCOMMAND uses DELETE, EDIT etc and both send different kinda objects like one send GridviewEventargs type object while another sends commandeventargs,

WHY ? Where to use ? HOW ?

Its not stupid. Sometimes you need a fresh pair of eyes. Your issue is solved?

commented: yes thanks +2
