I have a DataList bound to an ObjectDataSource. In the ItemTemplate of the DataList I have a GridView and another ObjectDataSource (bound to a different business object than the DataList's data source). I set the inner ObjectDataSource Select parameter from the DataList's DataItem during the ItemDataBound event. The effect is a list of grids.

The GridViews have an Edit column. When I click the edit button the row goes into edit mode and the RowEditing event fires.But when I click Update nothing happens: the row stays in edit mode and neither the RowUpdating nor RowUpdated events are raised. If I click Cancel the RowCancelingEdit event fires and the row returns to its normal state.

 If I put a GridView and ObjectDataSource outside the DataList everything works exactly as expected. It's only when they are inside the DataList that I updating doesn't work.

How can I edit a GridView inside a DataList?

Thanks

hi

Sinnce u are using the gridview inside the datalist u will not able to call the event handlers of the gridview in the codebehind file..

instead u can try this ..

In the .aspx page where u declare the grid view  

 <asp:GridView ID=""  runat="server"  OnRowEditing="MethodName1" OnRowUpdated="Methodname2" OnRowUpdating="Methodname3">

</asp:gridView> 

in the  code behind File

protected sub methodname1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs) 

end sub

protected sub methodname2(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewUpdatedEventArgs) 

end sub

protected sub methodname3(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewUpdateEventArgs) 

end sub

 write the corroesponding code here..

hope this will help

Dear, friend:

Make sure you have set the updatecommand in datasource and datekey in GridView correctly.
