Solution 1

GridView1.EditIndex = e.RowIndex/e.NewEditIndex
- This means the row number you want to edit.

GridView1.EditIndex = -1
- This means you want to exit from the edit mode.

Please Vote it if this clears to you.

you will get the e.NewEditIndex in the Edit Command[when you click on Edit button that same row number]
But if you want to set the edit command on custom row(the row which you want to edit) then you can set it the e.RowIndex in the RowDataBound event[you can set the edit functionality on perticular row which you want to edit without clicking on the Edit button]
