Insert Update Edit Delete Rows Record In GridView

In this example i am explaining how to Insert Update Edit Delete Records Rows In GridView With SqlDataSource Using C# VB.NET Asp.Net using SqlDataSource.

For inserting record, i've put textboxes in footer row of GridView using ItemTemplate and FooterTemaplete.


Go to design view of aspx page and drag a GridView control from toolbox, click on smart tag of GridView and choose new datasource
Select Database and click Ok
 
In next screen, Enter your SqlServer name , username and password and pick Database name from the dropdown , Test the connection
 
 
 In next screen, select the table name and fields , Click on Advance tab and check Generate Insert,Edit and Delete statements checkbox , alternatively you can specify your custom sql statements 
 
 
Click on ok to finish 
Check Enable Editing , enable deleting checkbox in gridView smart tag 
Now go to html source of page and define DatakeyNames field in gridview source
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" 
              AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
              DataKeyNames="ID"
              DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" 
              OnRowDeleted="GridView1_RowDeleted" 
              OnRowUpdated="GridView1_RowUpdated" 
              ShowFooter="true" 
              OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand">
</asp:GridView>
Remove the boundFields and put ItemTemplate and EditItemTemplate and labels and textboxs respectively, complete html source of page should look like this
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" 
              AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
              DataKeyNames="ID"
              DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" 
              OnRowDeleted="GridView1_RowDeleted" 
              OnRowUpdated="GridView1_RowUpdated" 
              ShowFooter="true" 
              OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand">
<Columns>
    <asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True"
