I'm not sure if I get the whole thing. With the GridView you can edit columns as you want by enabling/disabling columns. What do you bind to the GridView? If you bind a method for updating a single record of the database or your Business Layer the record is updated in your database after editing the column.
If you want the following: - display the gridview - edit single columns and dont update them directly in the database - after clicking "btnSaveAll" all updates are saved in the database I would do the following: - dont bind a update method to gridview - create an event for the gridview with "RowUpdated" and put the record with all new data into a list (lstRecordsToUpdate) - after clicking "btnSaveAll" you just have to go through the lstRecordsToUpdate and update the single entry in the database. I hope that helped.
