Modifying Data in a GridView Web Server Control

The title of this post is the subject of an MSDN article at:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c4245bb4(VS.80).asp x

The article describes generating a sqldatasource that has select, update,
delete, and insert statments and basically accomplishing maintenance through
a datagrid with no coding. The problem is that, like earlier 1.1 articles,
it doesn't work. The edit button opens up a textbox and allows a new entry
but no update occurs.

Back in 1.1 we had to execute the stored procedures ourselves in code in the
rowcommand event.

Do we still have to do it the old fashioned way or does the gridview
actually somehow have this advertised updating capability?
Thanks,
Gary

RE: Modifying Data in a GridView Web Server Control

Hi Gary,

As for .NET 2.0 GridView (or DataGrid) that associate with DataSource
control, it does support AD hoc data access such as query, update, delete
without writing code. Actually, it is easy to perform such a task through
a simple database table. e.g.

** drag a data source control onto the page and configure it, make sure you
choose generate update/insert/delete query together with select query

** drag a gridview on to page and bind to the datasource control added
previously

** in the Gridview action list, choose to enable "Editing", "Deleting"

then, run the page, you should be able to select, edit, delete records.
This is just for very simple AD HOC scenarios. Are you encoutering any
particular error when running the page?

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
