Hi Vilmar, "New" on that line should be lower-case: "new". C# is case-sensitive. The error message is not particularly helpful in this case. Hope that helps! Marcie CP Blog[^]

2.0 is set to RTM in the first half of 2005. "Community Tech Previews" are being handed out at all the conferences, and is available for MSDN subscribers to download. Marcie CP Blog[^]

Mike, there is a great book that addresses these issues: Software For Your Head Marcie

Ah, I just noticed that that code is not inside an event. Put it into page_load and you should be set. Inline code (not inside an event) still works in ASP.NET, but it's not a good idea. Marcie CP Blog[^]

Weird. Can you paste in the current ASPX portion of your code again? Marcie CP Blog[^]

A Literal might be better than a Label, since I believe Label's put everything inside of a [span]. Marcie CP Blog[^]

Don't specify a Text property in the [asp:TextBox] declaration since I think that overrides whatever happens in code. Otherwise, this should work: Message.Text = (string) Request.QueryString["ID"].ToString(); Marcie CP Blog[^]

Even better, encapsulate all the logic that creates the Connection and the DataAdapter into one method, and call that method from both places. Marcie CP Blog[^]

You need to check it for nulls, and cast/convert it to a string (or an int). Marcie CP Blog[^]

If you didn't make it public in that other procedure, or save it off somewhere, then you'll need to recreate the DataAdapter/DataSet in the PageIndexChanged event. Marcie CP Blog[^]

Depending on what you're looking for, you may want to use a different format, see this post for some good examples: String Formatting Marcie P.S. It wasn't a silly question :) CP Blog[^]

Can you elaborate on "kaput"? :) Marcie CP Blog[^]

Hi Chintan, If you're specifying each column individually in the [Columns] section of your [asp:Datagrid], then you can hide them with this: DataGrid1.Columns(2).Visible = False For AutoGeneratedColumns, it's a bit more complicated, but I have a sample available here. Hope that helps, Marcie CP Blog[^]

Eric Lippert posted about another story like this the other day, referring to "comment rot" :) http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2004/05/04/125893.aspx Marcie CP Blog[^]

Great minds think alike :) ! Marcie CP Blog[^]

Try: gridShoppingCart.Columns[3].FooterText = String.Format("{0:c}", dtCart.Compute("Sum(TotalValue)", "")); Marcie CP Blog[^]

Where/how are you populating the Footer cell? Marcie CP Blog[^]

Hi Thomas, As I far as I know, the user interface is exactly the same, but certain features are missing from the Standard version. This page seems to have some more info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/howtobuy/choosing.aspx Marcie CP Blog[^]

Hi Satyajit, The ItemCommand event fires pretty much whenever anything happens inside a Datagrid, so you'll want to trap for CommandName. Only process your Delete logic when the CommandName is "Delete". Is the PageIndexChanged event not also being fired? Marcie CP Blog[^]
