And the code i used is :

Next
If Me.UniplusDataSet.HasChanges() Then
Dim ws As New UniplusWebClient.localhost.UniplusService
ws.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
Dim diffUniplus As New UniplusWebClient.localhost.UniplusDataSet
diffUniplus.Merge(Me.UniplusDataSet.GetChanges())
ws.uniplusUpdates(diffUniplus)
UniplusDataSet.Merge(diffUniplus)
End If
DataGrid1.EditItemIndex = -1
DataGrid1.DataBind()
End Sub
End Class
The error is in Line 56. that is:
" Dim t As TextBox = CType(e.Item.Cells(i).Controls(0), TextBox)"
Can someone help me find whats wrong in the above code.

** For i = 0 To UniplusDataSet.EmpTable.Columns.Count() - 1
Dim t As TextBox = CType(e.Item.Cells(i).Controls(0), TextBox)
Dim row As DataRow = UniplusDataSet.EmpTable(e.Item.DataSetIndex)
row(UniplusDataSet.EmpTable.Columns(i).Caption) = t.Text
Next

Yes, why convert the control to a textbox, only to retrieve the value of the text box later?
Why don't you do something like:
Dim s as string = e.item.cells(i).tostring
.
.
.
row(UniplusDataSet.EmpTable.Columns(i).Caption = s

here is an example of how i do the textbox contents to string var conversion:
Dim strCity As String = CType(e.Item.Cells(6).Controls(0), TextBox).Text
The (6) is just the position in my grid.

I do
dim t as string
t = ctype(e.Item.FindControl("Name"),TextBox).text
where "name" Is the ID of the textbox in the datagrid.
This means if you count your rows wrong (or add more to the datagrid) you still get the correct content.
I think if you response.write( e.Item.Cells(i).ToString) you will get something like "System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell"
you need to do some kind of Ctype ... to get the textbox, then the contents of the textbox.
Response.write is a great tool if you are getting problems like this.. comment out the line that is giving you trouble and write the problem variable out.

I'd expect that e.Item.Cells(i).Controls(0) is not actually a textbox. If you can, check it by printing out
e.Item.Cells(i).Controls(0).GetType().Name
It should be 'Textbox'. If not, that cast won't work.
