If I am understanding you correctly, the reason e.NewValues and e.OldValues are not populated is that you are dynamically populating the gridview.  The e parameter relies on a design time datasource to populate these values. 

In order to make this work, you will have to programmatically grab the values from the edit and create an update.

Hi geneB,

I am actually trying to update the gridview at run time and hence my
GridViewEditEventArgs e goes blank as soon as I hit the update button. I am
able to trap the oldvalues before i start to edit using the static variable
concept but i cannot seem to find out the way to get the new values in the
gridview. Can you please guide me? Any help would be highly appreciated?

cheers!
