I am developing a application which uses the update panel to refresh a gridview when changes are made in a dynamically loaded usercontrol which is loaded as one of the cells of the grid I am experiencing some strange issues firstly the grid is loading the control in the RowDataBound event and binding to the data in PageLoad this approach causes a problem when its time to update the data within the usercontrol due to the buttons event which updates the db fires after the PageLoad as you can determine the PageLoad will bind the grid to the db before the buttons update code as run so the changes will not get reflected. Now the problem arrises I put my data binding code as i would later on in the life cycle [onPreRender] so the button can update the db and changes will be rendered. but what happens is the buttons event handler in the control does not get triggered. but the async postback is taking place, the buttons click event works when the databinding code is in the Page_Load but but not this way in PreRender. i have had this problem for a couple of days now i dont know if its a issue with binding so late on in the cycle or related to the buttons events not getting registered. I would much appreciate any feedback or advice. Regards Dan.

Hi people I have created a simple web service that pulls product information from a database then encapsulates the data in object representations before returning the object to the client, One of the classes 'product' contains a property that holds a collection of quantities every thing ok the objects are searlized the data is in the right place etc but when cosuming the service from the client I am presented with a half baked proxy library with members not available and on my product class the property that returns a quantity collection returns a quantity is there a simple way around this or am i missing something. I would be very greatfull if someone could shed some light on this or put me in the right direction. Best Regards Daniel
