Changing EditRowStyle programmatically when Edit is clicked

Question

Hi,

I have an ASP.NET(2.0 using C#) web app, in which I have a gridview. I have an Edit column in it, but I'm not using the regular Edit functionality. When Edit is clicked something else happens.

I wanted to know how to change the style of the row in which Edit was clicked in the GridView_RowEditing function?

I have tried this:

    protected void Grid_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
    {
     Grid.Rows[e.NewEditIndex].BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Groove;
     //Do some Other things 
    }

When I click it, the other functionality works, but the style doesn't change. All I want to do is to change the style of the editRow so that I can tell which one it is.

Thank you.

As far as I understand, you can setup a particular style for SelectedItem in the GridView. Then when the edit button is clicked, you can do this -

grdView.SelectedIndex = e.NewEditIndex;

After doing this, the row in edit mode will get selected and the "SelectedItem" style will be applied to it.
