...and that's what I couldn't figure out as far as the DeleteCommand getting fired. When there are two records on the 2nd page, there's no exception thrown when I click the #1 page link. If I delete one record from the 2nd page and now there's only 1 record on that page, the exception get's thrown when I click the link to go to page #1. Why does the DeleteCommand get fired when I click the page #1 link? I tested my original datagrid, and it doesn't do this...it's works fine. The only difference is the edit item template for this current datagrid where I put two dropdown lists and two text boxes in one column, so the user didn't have to scroll horizontally. The original datagrid, which changes my 4th text box/column to a ddl, and my 6th textbox/column to a ddl doesn't throw any errors. Weird......but at least it's a better UI than before, and I just display a tiny error message. Thanks!

Yes, in that case that pattern works. It's wasn't that pattern you used in the message I replied to, though. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Got it to work with this: http://www.411asp.net/func/content?tree=411asp/tutorial/specific/web/userinte/webcontr/listbox&id=5881410 Thanks to all for the help!

The error may have been caused by this part of your code: var parentElement = document.getElementById('show'); var wrappingDiv = document.createElement('div'); wrappingDiv.innerHTML = document.getElementById("TextBox1").value+' '+xmlHttp.responseText; parentElement.appendChild(wrappingDiv); Try appending the div to the parent element first before setting the value, and you may want to use innerText instead of innerHTML. Also, is your xmlHttp.responseText a HTML script? If yes, that might be the cause of the problem. You're better off writing your html via javascript than setting it via innerHTML property.

Nick, Thanks for staying on top of this. This is a new area for me. I thought I would get everything except HttpExceptions with: If Not ex.GetType.FullName = "System.Web.HttpException" Then

Tried something else....still frustrated...but getting a little closer! I can look at the record in question (only record on second page) and paste the following data in a label of: lblItemIndex.Text = e.Item.ItemIndex.ToString() lblItemIndex &= " " & DataGrid1.CurrentPageIndex lblItemIndex.Text &= " " & e.Item.Cells(15).Text.toString() ...this label shows that I'm in fact clicking on that only record on the second page, but still the Datagrid goes to the first record on the first page. If I add another record, so now the second page has two records, I can then edit this particular record on the second page.

OK - I'd try creating an array for each list, populated with the appropriate data, and data bind to them. I know I've tried to use one array across multiple ddls with similar problems. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

You might want to look for it in the ASP.NET control gallery[^]. IMO, it's more comlicated to customize the datagrid control in the way to want than the Repeater or DataList control. With the repeater or datalist cotnrol, you will be more flexible in editing the template of the row. Another way comes to mind is to implement a custom control whose functionality looks similar the DetailsView control in the ASP.NET 2.0. You basically use this custom control for editing the selected row.

Not quite sure what you mean by "User Categories". If you bring up the folder in explorer (file explorer), right click and select Properties and then click the Security tab on the Properites window. Where it says "Group aor user names:", you need to have in the list "ASP.NET" (if you are using Windows 2003 server, that would be "Network Services"). That account should have full write access to the folder. Rocky <>< My Blog[^]

Remove the static variable. It's not thread safe, so it won't work. Public Function GetPN(ByVal reset As Boolean, ByVal pagenumber As Integer) As Integer If reset Then Session("report") = pagenumber - 1 End If Return pagenumber - Session("report") End Function --- b { font-weight: normal; }

My fault...I had the textbox "tag" in the page header and not in the list object itself. It works! Thanks! -- modified at 17:02 Thursday 22nd September, 2005

I had two DR.Read()...just needed to delete the first one!

bubberz, + Because you use the FindControl method to look for a specific control based on its id, so you have to assign the ddlTitle value to the ID property of the dropdownlist when you create it in the OnItemCreated handler. Another way is to use the index value for the Controls collection of the container to get the child dropdownlist control. + In the OnItemCreated handler, you might also want to do the same in the case of the ListItemType.AlternatingItem.

Thanks Guffa! That was the trick. Here's what I used: Dim strSAID As String = Request.QueryString("ScheduleActivityID") btnUpdateBudget.Attributes.Add("onClick", "window.open('UpdateBudgetConfirm.aspx?UBID=" + strSAID + "','','width=500,height=300,left=200,top=200');")

Thanks Salim! That's what I found more or less on the web!
