I am a beginner and I am creating a crud webpage in asp.net and i can't get the update(save) button working. here is the snippet of my code:

        }

Whenever I run the program, I edit values to a specific row and then I click the save button, it does not do anything. I have read other answers that said to have a !postback and DataKeyNames in the code but I already have the postback in Main.aspx.cs and the DataKeyNames on Main.aspx. I don't know if the error comes on the .aspx or on the .aspx.cs. Have I done something wrong on the code? any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

UPDATE:

I have solved the problem. instead of writing "save" variables:

<EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:Button ID="Save" CommandName="Save" runat="server" Text="Save" ToolTip="Save" />
        <asp:Button ID="Cancel" CommandName="Cancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" ToolTip="Cancel" />
</EditItemTemplate>

I changed it to "update":

<EditItemTemplate>
         <asp:Button ID="Update" CommandName="Update" runat="server" Text="Update" ToolTip="Update" />
         <asp:Button ID="Cancel" CommandName="Cancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" ToolTip="Cancel" />
</EditItemTemplate>

Although I do not know why it worked, but it did the job!

If you know why "save" did not work and and "update" worked, I would really appreciate it if you tell me so i can be enlightened.

Thank you for all who helped.
