Question

I am having a gridview and I have showeditbutton property false, showdeletebutton property true.Edit is a link button and a row command event is fired on clicking it.

Now,my problem is that in gridview, when I click on edit link, delete link gets disappear. I have written

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" PageSize="5" OnRowCommand="gv_RowCommand"

Answer 1

You can include the delete button in your ItemTemplate:

<asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnedit" Text="Edit" style="color:#003399;" CommandName="Edit" runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtndelete" Text="Delete" style="color:#003399;" CommandName="Delete" runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

And then just remove the CommandField.

Answer 2

Replace your below code

<asp:TemplateField >
      <ItemTemplate>
         <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnedit" Text="Edit" style="color:#003399;"
           CommandName="Edit" runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
      </ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>


<asp:CommandField  ShowDeleteButton="true" CausesValidation="false" />

with this code.

 <asp:TemplateField  ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"  ItemStyle-VerticalAlign="Top"
    HeaderStyle-Width="10%">
     <ItemTemplate>
         <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnedit" runat="server" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit" />
     </ItemTemplate>

     <EditItemTemplate>                               
       <asp:LinkButton ID="btndelete" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete"     
          CommandArgument="<%#((GridViewRow)Container).RowIndex%>"/>

     </EditItemTemplate>             

 </asp:TemplateField>
