Remarks

When the ButtonType property of a CommandField object is set to ButtonType.Button or ButtonType.Link, use the EditText property to specify the text to display for an Edit button.

Note

As an alternative to displaying text for an Edit button, you can display an image by first setting the ButtonType property to ButtonType.Image and then setting the EditImageUrl property.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
