DataGrid - Weird Update Command Problem

[BW]

Hello,

I am attempting to to take edited values from a datagrid control and update
the underlying database. Problem is that some of the edited values don quite
seem to make it to my update sub. My code is shown below. The values that
are not appearing are Cell(4) - sCompletion and Cell(5) - sNote. The other
values show up just fine.

What am I missing here?

Dim iLogID As String = Convert.ToString(e.Item.Cells(0).Text)

Dim sEntry As String = CType(e.Item.Cells(2).Controls(0), TextBox).Text

Dim sResp As String = CType(e.Item.Cells(3).Controls(1),
DropDownList).SelectedItem.Value

Dim sCompletion As String = CType(e.Item.Cells(4).Controls(0), TextBox).Text
'Now.Date.ToString

Dim sNote As String = CType(e.Item.Cells(5).Controls(0), TextBox).Text

If sNote = "" Then sNote = "*"

'Fill a string builder just to check values passed by DataGrid

Dim sb = New StringBuilder

sb.Append("LogItem = " & iLogID)

sb.Append("; EntryDate: " & sEntry)

sb.Append("; Responsible: " & sResp)

sb.Append("; Completion Date: " & sCompletion)

sb.Append("; Note: " & sNote)

Label1.Text = sb.ToString

Found it thanks to Scott Mitchell's book: "Asp.Net Data Web Controls Kick
Start."

Needed to assign OnEdi/Cancel/Update/Delete commands for the grid. Also
added postback check in page load event. If the page is posted back, fill
the grid. If not, do the update.

If Not IsPostBack() Then
FillGrid()
End If

Thanks Scott!
PS - Great Book!
