I have a datagrid that contains an asp button in a template column.
I set the CommandName property to be "Edit" and inside the OnItemCommand eventhandler I have this routine:

if(e.CommandName == "Edit"){
//do stuffs here
}

On every page load,I refresh the datasource of the datagrid and rebind it.That's were I got the problem....

It seems that if I refresh the databinding I dont have the event triggered,or something I dont know happened in between.Could anybody explain what was happenning in there and any workaround for that?

All I want is to have the event triggered or the routine in the handler executed at the same time having the datasource refreshed on every page_load(postback or not)

Why do you need to refresh the datasource on every page load?

I'm not sure how you can accomplish the desired events with a regular reload of data.

coz I want to make sure, I have the updated information on every page load.

Hmm... interesting problem. Normally you wouldn't want to do this, but I can see to some extent why.

Here's a possible solution...

Execute your grid query and databind in the handler for PreRender. This event happens after the other events and such. Don't bind in Page_Load. This way, when you post an item Edit event, it will get caught. Then you can just set the edit item index and do nothing else. The query and bind during prerender will happen every time, and now that you have editItemIndex set, it will bind with the edit row intact as desired. The one catch is that you can not have any other page events cause a postback while you are editing otherwise you'll loose your edits when the prerender bind happens.

Thanks Peter
