Example

This demo shows how to edit data from an in-memory dataset using the ASPxGridView. To do this, you should:

• handle the RowUpdating, RowInserting, and RowDeleting events and update the data source manually (the e.NewValues dictionary contains the input value);
• set the e.Cancel parameter to true and call the ASPxGridView.CancelEdit method.
