C# 2.0 ASP.NET Postback & ObjectDataSource

[kselman]

I think this is an easy question.. I have a DataList displaying data from a ObjectDataSource and an input form that inserts data into the same table. Upon postback the DataList is showing the data prior to the postback. How do I refill the data on postback? Id post some code but filling of dataset and databind is "magic".. here is the code Im using in the ButtonClick function: NewsDataSetTableAdapters.CommentsTableAdapter commentsTable = new NewsDataSetTableAdapters.CommentsTableAdapter(); commentsTable.Insert(newsID, subjectTextBox.Text, commentTextBox.Text, ipAddress, DateTime.Now, emailTextBox.Text);

It's pretty common to put the code to fill the data list in the Page_Load routine, and to place it inside an if (!IsPostBack) test since normally you only need to populate the control once, when the page loads. However, if you happen to have your population code inside this test for your particular situation, it wouldn't repopulate the control on the postback because it's explicitly told not to. Don't know if this is how you have your code structured, but if it is, your fix may be as simple as moving the code outside the test so that it executes on every invocation of Page_Load, postback or not. Hope this helps...
