<p>How do I put a gridview row in edit mode programmatically?</p>

Just implement the Row_Editing event and do something like this:
```
```
protected void Row_Editing(object sender, GridViewEditArgs e) 
{
  myGridView.EditItemIndex = e.EditItemIndex; 
  BindData(); 
}
```
```
Bind data will populate the GridView with the data.
