Can you post a bit more of your code? I suspect that your connection string isn't right, as the server should respond in 200 mS easily. Are you using a local installation of SQL Server Express? If so, it should have a name for the instance, not ".\SQLEXPRESS." It may be that it isn't responding because it's never notified on the request. For instance, on my setup, the SQL Server installation is named "BAAL\SQLEXPRESS" and shortening the name in the connection string never works. The shortcut ".\" may not be valid for this application, so try adding the full name of the computer that hosts the server and see if that helps.

yes, it is.

You have missed server side tage closing character "%>" ( you have provided ">" only ) Thanks, Arindam D Tewary

I don't use Wizards to do my database work. But this parameter isn't supposed to have a data type ? Vuyiswa Maseko, Spoted in Daniweb-- Sorry to rant. I hate websites. They are just wierd. They don't behave like normal code. C#/VB.NET/ASP.NET/SQL7/2000/2005/2008 http://www.vuyiswamaseko.com vuyiswa@its.co.za http://www.itsabacus.co.za/itsabacus/

please see the following url http://tareemnet.com/drop.JPG User Name : adnet Pass : 123 When Editting, the user can change the value using the dropdownlist, and then updating with that new value selected. I'm beginner, please provide me a full code in c# for that issue.

Hi, the hint-text gives you the information why the update failed. SqlDataSource does not provide support for abbreviations. So you have to rewrite your query to UPDATE AdCampaign SET AdCampaign.DailyBudget = 12 FROM Account INNER JOIN AdCampaign ON Account.ID = AdCampaign.AccountID WHERE (Account.EmailAddress = @EmailAddress) This should work.

please clarity more.. and read the question.

Add the risk of sounding repetitious and single-minded: And what is the error message? There are no psychics here.
