Hi,

I am trying to use a list view to record an employee’s holiday requests and allow their manager to approve them. What I really need to make this nice and smooth is to call the events triggered by the edit and update buttons programmatically. Alternatively if I just knew how they commit things to the grid and add a new row etc I could program my own events to do this. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Simon

To answer my own post just call the Gridview’s UpdateRow method which accepts and integer for RowIndex and a Boolean for CausesValidation. GirdBookings.UpdateRow(1,true)
