Adding LinkButton to Grid in Edit mode

[Jes]

I would like to have a linkbutton at the top of my edit form when the user selects to edit a row.  I don't want to have it as a column, as I want just the LinkButton displayed (no header) and aligned to the left.  Is there any way to do this?

Hi Jes,

By using Form Template edit form, you can customize the edit form and can add your own buttons as your need. See the online demo.

Thanks for the reply.  Is there no way to do this without using the FormTemplate?

Hi Jes,

Either you can modify the autogenerated editform or design your custom edit form using FormTemplate/UserControl. But it is always good to use a UserControl/FormTemplate to design a custom editform. Check out the following demo link for getting more details regarding UserControl editform.

Could you provide more information or a link to a demo that shows how to modify the auto-generated edit form?  I have tried using a form template but the controls I place inside of it do not display!
