It appears as if MVCContrib is a simple way to construct the HTML Table from a collection of model objects. It doesn't appear as if has any ability to put a row into edit/update/delete "mode" similar to the WebForms GridView.
However, it does look like you can handle that functionality however you want to. If you want to go to a separate page for edit mode, just put a link in one of the columns with that row's id. The following is taken directly from: http://www.jeremyskinner.co.uk/2009/03/01/mvccontrib-grid-part-5-the-action-syntax/
<% Html.Grid(Model).Columns(column => {
column.For(x => x.Id).Named("Person ID");
column.For(x => x.Name);
column.For(x => x.Gender);
column.For(x => x.DateOfBirth);
column.For("View Person").Named("").Action(p => { %>
<td style="font-weight:bold">
<%= Html.ActionLink("View Person", "Show", new { id = p.Id })%>
</td>
<% });
}).RowStart((p,row) => {
if (row.IsAlternate) { %>
<tr style="background-color:#CCDDCC">
<% } else { %>
<tr>
<% }
}).Render(); %>
Here it looks like they are wanting to direct the user to a View Person page: <%= Html.ActionLink("View Person", "Show", new { id = p.Id })%>.
Good luck, and happy coding.
