Bulk Editing of A GridView in ASP.Net

Question

What is the best way to achieve bulk editing of a grid view in ASP.net? I don't want the user to have to click edit on each individual row to change it. It would be much better if they could make all the changes and then submit them in one go.

What I want is something like

---

Item1 x x x x

Item2 x x x x

Item3 x x x x

Submit

---

Where x a check box.

Is a grid view even a good way to go about achieving this?

Answer 1

You should be able to set the GridViewRow.RowState to Edit during RowDataBound. Just be sure the RowType is DataRow.

I wonder if Matt Berseth´s post about bulk inserting (in a listview but it might help you) could be of some assistance, try it:
