delete link gets disappear on clicking edit link in gridview - asp.net

I am having a gridview and I have showeditbutton property false, showdeletebutton property true.Edit is a link button and a row command event is fired on clicking it.
Now,my problem is that in gridview, when I click on edit link, delete link gets disappear.
I have written

can I get any help?

You can include the delete button in your ItemTemplate:
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnedit" Text="Edit" style="color:#003399;" CommandName="Edit" runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtndelete" Text="Delete" style="color:#003399;" CommandName="Delete" runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
And then just remove the CommandField.

Replace your below code
<asp:TemplateField >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnedit" Text="Edit" style="color:#003399;"
CommandName="Edit" runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="true" CausesValidation="false" />
with this code.
<asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" ItemStyle-VerticalAlign="Top"
HeaderStyle-Width="10%">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtnedit" runat="server" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit" />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btndelete" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete"
CommandArgument="<%#((GridViewRow)Container).RowIndex%>"/>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Using Eval is not restricted to the column you are using it in. You can use all the columns in an ItemTemplate.
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" Target="_blank"
NavigateUrl='<%# string.Format("something.com/{0}/{1}", Eval("column1"), Eval("column2")) %>'
Text='<%# string.Format("something.com/{0}/{1}", Eval("column1"), Eval("column2")) %>'>
</asp:HyperLink>

I take a look at Firebug and this is what I got in both IE and Firefox. Same HTML.
What am I missing?

FormView Layout

This has driven me crazy a few times in the past but I've always fudged it and moved on. Today I want to try and fix it!
I quite frequently create a GridView to display data and a FormView directly beneath in Insert mode with controls in the InsertItemTemplate corresponding to the columns in the GridView, so that it looks like the FormView is just an empty row of the GridView awaiting new data entry. This works great.
The problem is that I can never get the widths of the 'columns' (really just textboxes) in the FormView to correspond to the widths of the columns in the GridView above.
In the example below, as you can see, both the GridView and FormView have a width of 100% and, sure enough, when the page is rendered they're both exactly the same width (I gave the FormView a border briefly to check). However, even though the widths of the textboxes in the FormView are identical to the widths of the columns in the GridView, they don't display that way. The textboxes are slightly wider, and by the time you get to the right-most column the cumulative effect means that the alignment is way out.
I'm guessing the problem is something to do with border widths or some other hidden element which is being rendered, but I can't figure it out. I have to say, the amount by which the alignment is out seems more than the couple of pixels a border would affect things.

If you're asking how to disable editing in the grid until someone hits an Edit button, simply set Enabled property to False on the grid until your button is pressed.
