I am trying to use the grid control for the frist time. I have everything working fine exceot when I go into the edit mode, I don't get a textbox. I am using the "textboxColumn" type but when I click the "edit" command, nothing happens.

Hi,

You seem to be doing everything correctly. Can you isolate the problem into a test page so that we can take a look? Make sure the page runs because we will need to see the problem happening.

Thanks

I got it to work. The problem was that the first column didn't work. When I added a RowNumberColumn as the first colum, everything else works as its is supposed to. Is in not possible to edit the first column???

Hi,

Check your FixedColumnCount property. I believe fixed column can not enter edit mode.

Thanks

The FixedColumnCount property setting fixed the problem. Another question...

I am used to using the asp.net controls which automatically update the database without having to write additional code.

I'm using SqlDataSource and it generates the update, delete and insert statements. Can I call them from grid somehow or if not, can you direct me to a VB example of how to do the batch update generated by the grid control.

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately no. Our Grid does not automatically update the datasource. The Grid only provides you properties about what has been added/changed/removed. For example, you can use ChangedItems to get a list of changed items:

You would just look through that properties and create an update statement based on each of them to update your database.

Thanks
