neweditindex property in gridview

[Alexis25]

I want a general idea about the nneweditindex property and gridview class. What syntax should be used to edit a row in the index. Here I have a gridview template field in my project in which I want to get the value during the rowediting event. But I am not able to figure out how to do this. The thing which I am working works well if the cell is databount, but it fails in templates field. And second thing, is there a way by which I can change the control width in edit mode because the text boxes are quiet wide.

neweditindex property helps you to set the index the index of row which is being edited. It is used to determing the index of row which is going to be edited. The rows index is also used to get a row from the rows collection of the grid vew control. This allows you to access the rows properties. You get some sample codes from the internet and work on the above issue.

The TemplatesFields has controls which have value. As compare to boundfields which have their values in side them they are different. If you can reference the control tab then I think that can help you out. Like refer to the below example :
This one for the C#:

TextBox SampleTextBox =
(TextBox)gvBrazeLoad.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(6) .FindControl("TextBoxID");

The sample textbox contains the value.

The gridview class denotes the values of date of a particular database in a table where every coloumn shows a field and each row is a record. By gridview you can select, sort and edit them. It is the control which is used to display the values of a data source. It supports binding of data source controls, sort capabilities which are built in, update and delete, paging options, row selection capacities, etc.

The syntax you can use to apply girdview is as follows.
If you are using Visual basic usage then - Dim instance As GridView
or
If you are using jscript then -
public class GridView extends CompositeDataBoundControl implements IPostBackContainer, IPostBackEventHandler, ICallbackContainer, ICallbackEventHandler
or
ASP.NET - <asp:GridView />

For you query to change an item to change a control widthe c hange the items to Templatefield. And then you will able to configure the width in the edit item template.
