editing a grid - seeking a little direction

I'm new to both .asp and .net. I know my question probably has a long answer so I'm just hoping that someone can point me to a reference where I may read a little more.

I'm trying to write a very simple app that allows users to view a grid of data and edit certain fields in that grid - upon multiple records concurrently. Clicking an update button afterward should write the data to the database. This is solely an update - not an insert. I do not want the user to select a record and then enter a detail screen to do the update - I want the update to occur on the grid.

It seems that asp:datagrid allows for an update upon a single record in the record set. My guess is that I somehow need to get the EditItemIndex to follow the users cursor and when they click the update button do an update from the dataset to the database?

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Steve
