editing data in a datagrid

Hallo!

I have filled a datagrid with data from a database. I would like to edit
the data in the datagrid and save it back to the database. My problem is
that I don't really know how to capture the event of the cell that I am
editing. The code below works but I would like to edit the data in a cell
and then for example click a button and save it.
Here is little of my code :

void Button5Click(ob ject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
int colNr = dataGrid4.Curre ntCell.ColumnNu mber;
int rowNr = dataGrid4.Curre ntCell.RowNumbe r;
string s = dataGrid4.Curre ntCell.ToString ();
string currentCellData = null;
EventHandler eh = null;
currentCellData = textBox2.Text;
DataGridCell dc = new DataGridCell(ro wNr, colNr);
dataGrid4[dc] = currentCellData ;

}

To get the value directly from the cell, try code like:

int colNr = dataGrid4.Curre ntCell.ColumnNu mber;
int rowNr = dataGrid4.Curre ntCell.RowNumbe r;
object cellValue = dataGrid4[rowNr, colNr];

Try This Out

dataGrid4.Curre ntCellChanged += new EventHandler(Gr id_CurCellChang e);

private void Grid_CurCellCha nge(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
object currentCell = dataGrid4[dataGrid4.Curre ntCell.RowNumbe r,
dataGrid4.Curre ntCell.ColumnNu mber]
}

thanks guys, the code works. But I also want to send the updated data back
to the database. I programmed in Java before and there it was easy to
browse through the cells and send the updates back to the database. How do
I do it in C#? I know I have to use the dataadapters updatecommand. Please
tell me how to do it.

Here is my only problem with using the datagrid to edit data. Say I have a moderate sized table, with about 15 columns. I want to allow a user to be able to edit most all of these fields, except for say a primary key. If I use the edit capabilities of the datagrid, I'll end up with a grid about 15 columns wide, which most certainly won't fit on one page (scrolling left/right in a webpage a big thing I try to avoid). What I'd like is...

Is there a way to use your own image in place of the automatic one that ASP uses when doing editing in your DataGrid pages? We already have a style of button we are using and would like to be consistant. Thanks, Tom.
