I got the cells setup correctly.

<ig:TemplateDataField Key="TemplateField_0">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="Delete" CssClass="sepV_a" OnClientClick="return deleteRow()" ToolTip="Delete" runat="server"><i class='splashy-calendar_day_remove'></i></asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="Edit" CssClass="sepV_a" OnClientClick="return editRow()" ToolTip="Edit" runat="server"><i class='splashy-calendar_month_edit'></i></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
<Header Text="Delete / Edit" />
</ig:TemplateDataField>

I have activation, editing core and cell editing turned on.  

Here is the script

<script type="text/javascript">
function editRow() {

var grid = $find("dgvStaff");

// Get active row
var activeRow = grid.get_behaviors().get_activation().get_activeCell().get_row();

// Enter edit mode on the first cell of active row
grid.get_behaviors().get_editingCore().get_behaviors().get_cellEditing().enterEditMode(activeRow.get_cell(0));

// Cancel auto postback from link button
return false;
}

function deleteRow() {

var grid = $find("dgvStaff");

// Delete active row
grid.get_rows().remove(grid.get_behaviors().get_activation().get_activeCell().get_row());

// Cancel auto postback from link button
return false;
}

function msgBox() {
alert('test worked');

return false;
}
</script>

I added the msgBox function to make sure the buttons worked.  They work correct when attached to the msgBox function.

When they are linked up to the edit/delete functions the delete button gives me a javascript error.

Delete Button Error:

Async request failed

[NotSupportedException]: A row can only be updated or deleted if the DataKeyFields property is set.

I couldn't copy and paste it all.

The Edit button does not error out, but it does not open up Cell(0) for editing, nothing seemed to happen.  I can step through the code but on the web page nothing happens.

I know editing is turned on because i can double click a cell and it allows me to edit.

Any help is appreciated.
