Multiple command in one linkbutton control

Question

I'm new to asp.net development. I would like to ask if it is possible for one link button to have two or more commands?

What I want to happen is that my link button should be able to handle the edit and update commands. Once i click the link in my grid view, it will show the data on its respective controls (i.e textbox for name will have the data of what I clicked) then once I edit any data on the textbox and click the same link it will update and save in the database.

 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ID">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkEdit" runat="server" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("ID")%>'  CommandName="Update" 
                             HeaderText="ID" SortExpression="ID" Text='<%#Eval("ID")%>'> 
                        </asp:LinkButton>
                    </ItemTemplate> 
                </asp:TemplateField>

Thanks in advance. Please help!. :)

Its not possible to have multiple commandname for one linkbutton,but when you click linkbutton for editing you can change commandname to "Update".I think this will solve your problem.For changing the commandname for linkbutton refer to this link.
