<script runat="server">

  void AuthorsGridView_RowCommand(Object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
  {
  
    // If multiple ButtonField columns are used, use the
    // CommandName property to determine which button was clicked.
    switch(e.CommandName)
    {
    
      case "Edit":
        AuthorsGridView.Columns[0].Visible = false;
        AuthorsGridView.Columns[1].Visible = true;
        break;
      case "Update":
        AuthorsGridView.Columns[0].Visible = true;
        AuthorsGridView.Columns[1].Visible = false;
        break;
      default:
        // Do nothing.
        break;
    }
    
  }
  
  void AuthorsGridView_RowUpdating (Object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
  {
    
    // Retrieve the row being edited.    
    int index = AuthorsGridView.EditIndex;
    GridViewRow row = AuthorsGridView.Rows[index];
    
    // Retrieve the new value for the author's first name from the row. 
    // In this example, the author's first name is in the second cell 
    // of the row (index 1). To get the value, first retrieve the TextBox
    // that contains the value.
    TextBox firstNameTextBox = (TextBox)row.Cells[1].FindControl("FirstNameTextBox");

    String firstName = "";    
    if(firstNameTextBox != null)
    {
      firstName = firstNameTextBox.Text;
    }

    // In this example, the author's last name is in the third cell 
    // of the row (index 2).

    String lastName = "";
    if(lastNameTextBox != null)
    {
      lastName = lastNameTextBox.Text;
    }
    
    // Because custom TemplateField field columns are used, parameters 
    // are not automatically created and passed to the data source control.

Remarks

Validation groups allow you to assign validation controls on a page to a specific category. Each validation group can be validated independently of other validation groups on the page. Use the ValidationGroup property to specify the name of the validation group for which the ButtonFieldBase object causes validation when it posts back to the server.

The ValidationGroup property has an effect only when the value of the CausesValidation property is set to true. When you specify a value for the ValidationGroup property, only the validation controls that are part of the specified group are validated when the ButtonFieldBase posts back to the server. If you do not specify a value for the ValidationGroup property and the CausesValidation property is set to true, all validation controls on the page that are not assigned to a validation group are validated when the ButtonFieldBase posts back to the server.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
