Hi,

<asp:datagrid id....>
    <ItemStyle ....></ItemStyle>
    <HeaderStyle ....></HeaderStyle>
    <Columns>
        <asp:EditCommandColumn .....>
        </asp:EditCommandColumn>
 
        <asp:TemplateColumn .....>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ......></asp:Label>
            </ItemTemplate>
            <EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox ..........>
                    [COLOR=red]<asp:RequireFieldValidator.......... />[/COLOR]
                </asp:TextBox>
            <EditItemTemplate>
         </asp:TemplateColumn>
    </Columns>
</asp:datagrid>

You have to edit the datagrid yourself. From the above code, there will be 2 columns (one for "edit" and one for showing). As you can see, the TemplateColumn will have 2 things, ItemTemplate and EditTemplate.

When the datagrid is loaded, the ltemTemplate will show the label. When you click the "edit", the EditItemTemplate will show the textbox.

For more info, search for TemplateColumn, ItemTemplate and EditItemTemplate in MSDN.
