        <asp:EditCommandColumn CancelText="Cancel" EditText="Activate"
            UpdateText="Activate"></asp:EditCommandColumn>

Well and my code behind is :
protected void Datagrid1_EditCommand(object source, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        Datagrid1.EditItemIndex = e.Item. ItemIndex;
        try
        {
            SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "Select * from OkazRegisteration";
            Datagrid1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSource1.ID;
            Datagrid1.DataBind();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            ErrorLabel. Text = ex. ToString();
        }
    }

    protected void Datagrid1_CancelCommand(object source, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        Datagrid1.EditItemIndex = -1;
        try
        {
            SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "Select * from OkazRegisteration";
            Datagrid1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSource1.ID;
            Datagrid1.DataBind();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            ErrorLabel. Text = ex. ToString();
        }
    }

    protected void Datagrid1_UpdateCommand(object source, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
    {

        switch (e.Item. ItemType)
        {
            case ListItemType. EditItem:

                TextBox txt_Days = (TextBox)e. Item. FindControl("Hello_txt");
                Label lbl_User = (Label)e. Item. FindControl("lbl_User");

                SqlDataSource2.UpdateCommand = "Update OkazRegisteration set Reg_IsActive='True', Reg_ExpiryDays=" + txt_Days. Text + " , Reg_ActivatedAt='" + DateTime. Now. ToShortDateString() + "' Where Reg_UserName='" + lbl_User. Text + "'";
                SqlDataSource2.Update();
                break;
        }
        try
        {
            SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "Select * from OkazRegisteration";
            Datagrid1.DataSourceID = SqlDataSource1.ID;
            Datagrid1.DataBind();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            ErrorLabel. Text = ex. ToString();
        }
    }

in the Datagrid1_UpdateCommand 
The Text Value of the TextBox txt_Days is always empty
What am i doing wrong ?? 
I've done this kind of work for a really long time , but i cannot see the error this time
Please Help,
Regards. 

A:

I found out that I am binding my grid every time the page loads so that the text inside my text box is erased. 
Hope that gives a hint to anyone faces the same issue
