Now, when i click edit from below grid, the data in grid should come up in above form.
There is a different template available in Gridview and you have to use it properly. For example, if you want to edit something, the editTemplate is available for that.. look at the following sample:
<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="grd">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lbl"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="Textbox1"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hdf" />
</EditItemTemplate>
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="Textbox1"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hdf" />
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
have a look on these article
http://www.asp.net/data-access/tutorials/using-templatefields-in-the-gridview-control-cs
http://programming.top54u.com/post/ASP-Net-GridView-Edit-ItemTemplate-Mode.aspx
This is such a general question that you should really review how the GridView works in the first place.
Try reviewing the following example from MSDN regarding GridView editting;

I have a web page built in .NET where I am a very simple DataGrid with several fields. I would like to have one of those field have its data placed in a TextBox so the user can edit the default description. Is there an easy way to do this by default so the user doesn't have to click an edit button for the row?
Yes, disable AutoGenerateColumns and define your own fields:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate></HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Data") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Updating this data to the database might be more difficult though.
i am using this code for sorting in grid view but this is not working. please help
<asp:TemplateField SortExpression="FirstName">
<HeaderTemplate>
Name
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Eval("Name")%>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
You mentioned that you don't see link at the table's header.
It might help you,
Make sure that you set the AllowSorting="true" and created a event to handle it OnSorting="gvActivities_Sorting"
<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="gvActivities" AllowSorting="true"
OnSorting="gvActivities_Sorting">
If you did it you should get a link in the header.
If not post the all gridview decleration
I have an application which contains a table with two columns: messageid and messageDesc . Inside the messageDesc column there is a message description. When I try to bind the GridView to the messageDesc column, it renders the entire column on a single line, requiring the user to scroll horizontally to view the complete text. I want to prevent this by having the description flow over multiple lines. How do I do this?
I have tried using the ItemStyle attribute but it's not working. Please suggest a solution. In addition to this, I can't change the database message content.
Thanks in advance.
Warp label insdie div element and than try out this will surely work for you
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<div style="width:100px;">
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="<%# Eval("description") %>"></asp:Label>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
or
<ItemStyle Wrap="true" Width="100px" />
You can display data in textbox using template field instead of bound field. See below, textbox code. Your TemplateField would look like this:
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ReadOnly="True" Text='<%# Eval("MessageDesc") %>'
TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
The ReadOnly setting keeps users from editing the data while having it still enabled for them. In Edit mode, of course you would set ReadOnly to false.
Edit: Feb 7, 2012 - Turns out the key parameter disappears from the GridView Edit link after a Sort as well, so it doesn't appear to be the Pager after all, but the problem persists... any ideas very welcome.
I have a Asp.Net Dynamic Data app. It uses the standard GridViewPager.aspx in Custom List.aspx which is marked up like this:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="GridDataSource" EnablePersistedSelection="True" CssClass="DDGridView" HeaderStyle-CssClass="th" RowStyle-CssClass="td" CellPadding="6" AllowSorting="True" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="3"
OnRowDataBound="GridView_OnRowDataBound" OnRowDeleting="GridView_OnRowDeleting">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LoginView ID="LoginView1" runat="server">
<RoleGroups>
<asp:RoleGroup Roles="admin">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:DynamicHyperLink ID="EditLink" runat="server" Action="Edit" Text="edit" />
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="delete" OnClientClick='return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?");' />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:RoleGroup>
</RoleGroups>
</asp:LoginView>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<PagerStyle CssClass="DDFooter" />
<PagerTemplate>
<asp:GridViewPager runat="server" />
</PagerTemplate>
<EmptyDataTemplate>
There are currently no items in this table.
</EmptyDataTemplate>
</asp:GridView>
On page 1 of the List all is well. The Edit Link rendered includes ?key=xxxxx and the Edit form opens to the correct record.
Once we page off of Page 1 however, the Edit Link rendered on each row has no 'key' parameter and the Edit form always opens to the first row in the database.
I am at a loss to explain this or even where to look. There is no custom code attached to any event associated with the Edit DynamicHyperlink or the GridviewPager.
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions as to what might be the issue?
Found the answer here:
LinkButton CommandArgument is empty when it is inside LoginView in a GridView
Turns out good 'ol Microsoft forgot to wire LoginView to fire row-level databind events inside a GridView. No databind, no link parameters!
In deference to a positive attitude, I'll make no comment on the level of organization it takes to allow that out the door....
I have a listview nested inside a gridview.
I'm trying to get paging working on the listview. I thought that it would display the paging controls, and just page through them normally.
It does display the controls, and limits the result set shown to the appropriate number of records (pageSize) but when I click on the paging controls the grid refreshes and nothing changes with the nested listview (it's still on the first page).
I've tried nesting the listview inside an updatepanel, but the behavior remains. The gridview itself is already in an updatepanel.
So this is the layout I've got:
<Gridview ID="gvApplications" DataSourceID="odsApplications" DataKeyNames="ID" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Functions">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ListView ID="lvFunctions" runat="server" DataSource='<%#Eval("ApplicationFunctions") %>'
DataKeyNames="ID">
<LayoutTemplate>
<asp:DataPager ID="dpFunctions" runat="server" PageSize="1" PagedControlID="lvFunctions">
<Fields>
<asp:NextPreviousPagerField />
</Fields>
</asp:DataPager>
<ul>
<li>
<span ID="itemPlaceholder" runat="server" />
</li>
</ul>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblFunction" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ApplicationFunction.Name") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</Gridview>
Ideas?
Honestly, I would consider using a master-details pattern here. There are a lot of code examples on this. For example:
Google: Master Details Examples with Child Objects
There are also scenarios where the details view (child objects in your case) would display on a separate page. Either way, by displaying the child objects in a separate details view, you avoid the coding and display issues that come with nesting.
Matt Berseth has some of the best code examples out there on this topic:

Listview / datapager combination do not work properly if the listview does not use a datasource control.
Try including a datasource control (objectdatasource could be applicable) in the template field.
