Any button can be set to redirect to another page. In this example, the edit icon (notepad icon) in a table control is connected to a separate Edit Record page. When the notepad icon is clicked, the Edit Record page is displayed.
A good example illustrating the concept of page redirection to another page is the “Edit” icon (notepad icon) in a table control that, when clicked, displays an Edit Record page. Moreover, buttons can initiate an action on the data contained in the table.

Step 3: Build and run your application.
When the Edit button is clicked, the primary key is passed to the EditEmployee.aspx via the ID parameter in the URL. EditEmployee.aspx then knows precisely which record to retrieve from the database and display for editing.
