Dear By looking at your question what I want to suggest you is : As Datalist is a templated control. You design ItemTemplate and EditItemTemplate. Design ItemTemplate such that the data comes from database would be reflected in Labels and place a checkbox along with the Update Button in the next row. When you select the checkbox and click on the Update button the EditItemTemplate should display with the data. Design EditItemTemplate with TextBoxes where data is coming from database. Click OK button in EditItemTemplate data get modified and the ItemTemplate is visible now. Thanks
