• Hi to all ,
  use this code it will resolve your issue of alternating and normal row editing in gridview.
  
  if ((e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) > 0)
  

• Thanks. your post is really helpful !!!!!!!!
  

• Thanks for this. I got around the problem using the following code:
  
  string rowstate = e.Row.RowState.ToString();
  rowstate = rowstate.Trim();
  
  if ((rowstate == "Edit") || (rowstate == "Alternate, Edit"))
  {
  }
  
  I've amended my code to the code kindly made available by you and it works :-).

• If you want to be sure you are in edit mode and not insert mode, this is a more appropriate method:
  
  If e.Row.RowState = DataControlRowState.Edit Or e.Row.RowState = DataControlRowState.Edit + DataControlRowState.Alternate Then
