In This Article I will Explain How to add Edit and Delete Button Links in DataGridView.

In my Pervious Article I Explained How to display Data in Datagridview and How to Set Auto Generate SNO in DataGridView.

In My previous post ,DataGridview will looks like this.

Now  i want to add link buttons to datagridview by using  C#                                                                       

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

namespace DatagridviewExample
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            displayDataGridView();

            DataGridViewLinkColumn Editlink = new DataGridViewLinkColumn();
            Editlink.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = true;
            Editlink.HeaderText = "Edit";
            Editlink.DataPropertyName = "lnkColumn";
            Editlink.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.SystemDefault;
            Editlink.Text = "Edit";
            dataGridView1.Columns.Add(Editlink);

            DataGridViewLinkColumn Deletelink = new DataGridViewLinkColumn();
            Deletelink.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = true;
            Deletelink.HeaderText = "delete";
            Deletelink.DataPropertyName = "lnkColumn";
            Deletelink.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.SystemDefault;
            Deletelink.Text = "Delete";
            dataGridView1.Columns.Add(Deletelink);

        }


        public void displayDataGridView()
        {


            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source = CHINNU;Initial Catalog = dotnetdb;Uid = sa;Password = password123;");
            {
                SqlCommand cmd;
                cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from Employee", con);
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
                SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
                DataSet ds = new DataSet();
                da.Fill(ds);
                dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];

                dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
                dataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = false;
                int i = 1;
                foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
                {
                    row.Cells["SNO"].Value = i;
                    i++;
                }


            }

        }
    }
}
