You open pop-ups with javascript, not ASP.NET.
If you are trying to select a row from your gridview, there should be an event which opens a new window with javascript, and include a url in it to load the editable section. Also a parameter that relates your new window to the row you selected is necessary.

Separate pop-up windows is not a recommended practice any more, specially since they can't be opened in dialog mode. It is best to work within the same window.

Agree. It would make a fair formal answer, especially if you add some detail.

I agree with the comment to the question by Homero Rivera. Please see my recent answer where I explain why popup windows are bad and suggest some useful alternatives: Problem in firefox popup windows for web base ASP.NET application[^].

But I don't say that the "modal popup" solution is necessarily what you need. Some other solution which simply change the layout to show some detail on some event ("drill-down") on the same page can be beneficial. For example, you could keep required grid view or its part hidden (presumably "collapsed") until it is needed for a "drill-down" event. Then you can show this element by either moving or hiding other elements or by superimposing it on top. There are numerous designs like that, and some of them are even user-friendly. :-)
