A CommandField enables to display command buttons to perform selecting, editing, inserting, or deleting operations in a data-bound control.

A TemplateField enables to display custom content in a data-bound control. You could for example nest another GridView inside it or a custom WebUserControl which consists of several other controls.

So in short:

  • a CommandField autogenerates a button or link for special actions like edit/delete
  • a TemplateField is extremely customizable, you can put anything there

Template fields are fields where you add controls inside gridview columns. And command fields are the attribute through which you came to know which control has generated event inside girdview.
