I found the easiest way to do this was to use a listview instead of a gridview.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I thought this should be straight forward but I'm damned if I can get it right.<br />
I'm showing list of items in a GridView that's connected to a DataSource. Currently the editing of these items is done on a separate page but I now want to allow editing directly from the list. Some items will be textboxes and others will have dropdown list (possibly using AJAX cascading). I would also like to allow for inserting and deleting. <br />
Can anyone please push me in the right direction?

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.
