Concept

• GridView (Web Forms) - Edit Data

• Grid View (MVC) - Edit Data

Web Forms Example

The code sample below specifies the grid’s edit mode in markup:

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="Grid" runat="server" ...>
    <%--...--%>
    <SettingsEditing Mode="Batch" />
</dx:ASPxGridView>

The following example demonstrates how to specify the grid’s edit mode in code:

C#

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    var commandColumn = new GridViewCommandColumn() {
        ShowEditButton = true
    };
    Grid.Columns.Add(commandColumn);
    Grid.SettingsEditing.Mode = GridViewEditingMode.Inline;
    // ...
}

VB.NET

Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim commandColumn = New GridViewCommandColumn() With {
        .ShowEditButton = True
    }
    Grid.Columns.Add(commandColumn)
    Grid.SettingsEditing.Mode = GridViewEditingMode.Inline
    ' ...
End Sub

MVC Example

C#

@Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings => {
    settings.Name = "gridView";
    // ...
    settings.SettingsEditing.Mode = GridViewEditingMode.Batch;
}).Bind(Model).GetHtml()
