Edit, Delete and Insert in a programmatically created GridView

So I'm facing a problem. In fact i have created a databound GridView programmatically. The problem is I want to be interactive (update , delete, insert and all that drill) but only using c# since i have created it programmatically. Here is the code that'ive created with the GridView

 GridView grid = new GridView();
            //CSS
            grid.CssClass = "grid";
            grid.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gray;
            grid.ShowFooter = true;
            grid.AlternatingRowStyle.CssClass = "gridAltRow";
            grid.RowStyle.CssClass = "gridRow";
            grid.FooterStyle.CssClass = "gridFooterRow";
            grid.DataKeyNames = new string[] { "ID" };
            grid.RowCommand




            //End Css

            grid.AutoGenerateEditButton = true;            

            grid.DataSource = element.GetElementByRubric(testrub.ID);

            panel.Controls.Add(grid);
            grid.DataBind();

            TabContainer1.Tabs.Add(panel);

as you can see i added an edit button but it does nothing of course. Does anyone have any suggestions ??

thx

You need to add a handler for the OnRowEditing event. Something similar to 

grid.RowEditing+=new GridViewEditEventHandler(grid_RowEditing_RowEditing);

to attach the event handler and then an event handler like below. In this case the sender will be the dynamically created GridView.

protected void grid_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{
   ((GridView)sender).EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
   // Then call your databinding method here to update the grid.
}

This would also be the same method you would use to add handlers for the delete and insert events also.

Why are you generating a grid in code? This is highly unusual.

It may or may not be possible but why are you avoiding just writing the grid directly to the ASPX file?

You have to write the function for updating the database in onrowupdating event of the gridview to make the edit link work.
