Hi! I guess you are using BoundFiled. when you want to update some data in gridview you have to use TemplateFiled. in TemplateField you will have ItemTemplate, EditItemTemplate and FooterTemplate. As per your requirement you need to use ItemTemplate and EditItemTemplate. ItemTemplate acts just like BoundField. EditItemTemplate allows to Update the Data. I hope this will work fine

Hi, First of all you have to add Datakey names in dataGrid property. Write your empCode (i.e. Table Column Name of Employeecode) and now in Datagrid selectedindexChanges Event get that datakey value (i.e. empcode). And according to that fetch all data from database. In Event you can get datakey value like this. MyGridView.DataKeys[e.NewSelectedIndex].Value.ToString(); Now you have EmpCode so go ahead..
