If you do this, your Grid View's source will be refreshed before you're able to grab the new values out of it.

I'm having a very hard time understand what would prevent your event from being fired.

You have to make sure that you aren't setting your Grid View's data when it is not postback. I am using a Template Field to display my Edit, Update and Cancel 'buttons' in the first column of the Grid View within respective Item Template and Edit Item Template fields.Within the Item Template I have an Image Buttong with a Command Name of "Edit".Do you have some sort of Java Script functionality that may be stopping it? A common problem people have with Grid Views is understanding when to data bind the data source to the Grid View.-Frinny Hi all, I seem to be having the same issue but I don't quite follow the trouble with the above post. Can you explain the T/S a little more or maybe point me to another post that may have already covered it?

It's quite common that people create the data source and bind this source to the Grid View in their Page_Load() method.
