I have VSNET2003.
I am using a datalist to display Locations that a person is willing to work.
I designed this in the IDE. Right clicked on edit templates, made entries
in each using Web Form Controls.
On the Edit Template I made form like control with various other controls.
Unfortunately when I click on "Edit" for an item it doesn't work.
The screen just blanks the datalist out and nothing happens.
I have been speaking with Microsoft about this, but still am not sure...
They keep talking about datasets.
Seems overkill to use a dataset just to get a list of records that will
seldom be viewed or modified and just for a particular person in a dataset
and then do all when all I need is a list that can click edit and change and
ADD to open a separate panel and add a record using SQL commands.
I have this sort of working but I am confused as to what I have to do and
what the IDE will do.
Example.
Do I need to physically open the HTML code and add the <%#' entries to tie
to data if using a datareader?
Do I also have to do the OnEditCommands and such and hard code those in by
hand?
If anyone could give me an overview of creating a datalist in the IDE and
getting it to function using SQL Commands and a datareader I would
appreciate it.
Also, if anyone could tell me why I should use datasets on webpages, unless
they are used to sort and view over and over by the same or many people I
would appreciate that.
Thanks in advance,
Shane
