How to put a GridView's row in edit mode, programatically?

[ata@mailinator.com]

Hi folks,
I've got a LinkButton that's being added to the GridView under certain
circumstances, conditionally.
Whenever the link is clicked, I would like to put the row (that
contains the link) in edit mode.
Please note that I'm trying to do this dynamically, in the run-time.

Any help would be highly appreciated,

Thanks
Jack

Just make sure that your linkbutton has the property CommandName="Ed it".

But it doesn't make either.

Well, I did so, but it doesn't work yet. Here's the code:

LinkButton lblOptions = new LinkButton();
lblOptions.Comm andName = "Edit";
lblOptions.Caus esValidation = false;
lblOptions.ID = "lblOptions " + id;
lblOptions.Text = String.Format(" <span style='margin-left:10px;'></
span>{0} other options", total);
lblOptions.Styl e.Add(HtmlTextW riterStyle.Colo r, "black");
lblOptions.Styl e.Add(HtmlTextW riterStyle.Font Weight, "bold");
lblOptions.Styl e.Add(HtmlTextW riterStyle.Font Size, "7pt");

row.Cells[3].Controls.Add(l blOptions);

Pressing the link doesn't put the row in Edit mode!
Any idea?

WowI Actually find the problem. The link is created based
e.Row.DataItem, in the RowCreated event handler.
However, I've just noticed that when the link button is pressed, the
RowCreated function gets called,
but this time, e.Row.DataItem is null!!!!!!

How this can be possible?
