I have a datagrid, I removed the "edit" button, and "edititemtemplate" because I wanted users to bypass "edit" and go directly to "update"/"cancel" buttons...

I added a LinkButton for "update" ...Everything is fine so far..

Now, when the user clicks "Update", I want to get the datagrid's values and update BUT ..

The linkButton does NOT have "e As DataGridCommandEventArg". It looks like this:
Code: 
Private Sub lbUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lbUpdate.Click

So, I cant have, for example: dim sShort= CType(e.Item.FindControl("short_desc"), TextBox).Text

I tried this : Dim SShort = dgIncid.FindControl("txtDesc") but i dont get the value...

So, how can I get to the datagrid's columns if I'm using a LinkButton??
 
Set the commandname property of the linkbutton to Update and then set the OnUpdateCommand event of the datagird to
LB_Update(sender As Object, e As DatagridCommandEvent Args) or whatever.

Then you will be able to use e.Item.FindControl("cntrlName")
