Hi Fred,

I'm assuming that you have set the event to execute on the DataGrid when editing. You set that with OnUpdateCommand="MyMethod". In method you then find the controls and extract the values from them. There is a MSDN article that I wrote that provides an example of how to do this. It is the first example shown. Here is the link:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnfoxgen7/html/usingaspnetwithvfp7.asp

Here is the code that runs in the Code-Behind method called when the Editing in the grid is completed:

Dim objCompanyCtrl As TextBox
Dim objContactCtrl As TextBox
Dim objCustIDCtrl As Label

' Assign the objects to each object in the edited row
objCompanyCtrl = _
     CType(objArgs.Item.FindControl("txtCompany"), TextBox)
objContactCtrl = _
     CType(objArgs.Item.FindControl("txtContact"), TextBox)
objCustIDCtrl = _
     CType(objArgs.Item.FindControl("lblCustID"), Label)

' Create update select statement
strUpdateSelect = "UPDATE Customer SET Company='" & _
     objCompanyCtrl.Text + "', " + "Contact='" & _
     objContactCtrl.Text + "' " + "WHERE Cust_ID='" & _
     objCustIDCtrl.Text + "'"

Hopefully this helps.

From the DataGridCommandEventsArgs object we know the command that was issued and the ItemIndex number (Row number) in the grid. We can locate the cells that are being edited in the grid with the following lines of code.
