In editItemTemplate there is linkbutton or textbox.If there is a linkbutton then change it to textbox.

Hello, the only option in the edititemtemplate is a linkbutton or push button... so how do I change this to a textbox? Thanks alot, Commickey

linkbutton or push button is your project options or you are saying only two two controls are available in the edititemtemplate.If your case is latter one then you can check it again , there is checkbox, button, image,label,textbox controls etc available in the edititemtemplate.You can use any of them
