Hi all,

My asp code and C# code are separated.

And I had created a new label lblEditMsg in the asp code

And on the GridView, I had put in a method Edit_Row

But when I tried to code the lblEditMsg on the Edit_Row method, it says "lblEditMsg does not exist in the current context"

Can someone please help?

Thanks 

I'm not sure what your problem is. I've included a similar example that works just fine. If I were you, I'd strip down the page to the bare basics to isolate the problem or start a fresh page.

ASPX 

<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
	<asp:label id="lblEditMsg" runat="server" />
</div>
<asp:gridview id="gvProducts" runat="server" allowpaging="True" autogenerateeditbutton="true"
	datakeynames="ProductID" datasourceid="sdsProducts" onrowediting="gvProducts_RowEditing" onrowcancelingedit="gvProducts_RowCancelingEdit">
</asp:gridview>
<asp:sqldatasource id="sdsProducts" runat="server" connectionstring="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnectionString %>"
	selectcommand="SELECT * FROM [Products]">
</asp:sqldatasource>

CODE-BEHIND 

protected void gvProducts_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{
	lblEditMsg.Text = String.Format("Row {0} being edited", e.NewEditIndex + 1);
	lblEditMsg.Visible = true;
}

protected void gvProducts_RowCancelingEdit(object sender, GridViewCancelEditEventArgs e)
{
	lblEditMsg.Visible = false;
}
