Novice question

[Greg Smith]

Hi I have what I am sure is a really stupid question, but, here goes.

I am creating a database application. To allow people to edit records, I
run a stored procedure and populate the text boxes on the form. After the
data is edited I try to run a stored procedure to update the record. The
problem is the click event on the button posts back to the server before the
stored procedure runs and I get back the original data before the save.

How do I turn this off?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Take a look at :

In short, the solution to your answer is to check if Page.IsPostBack is true
and the Page_Load

Thank you for your response Karl. I see how that would work in the case of
the dropdown list but I am having trouble applying it to what I what to do.

I want to run a function on a button click but the Post Back is returning
the data to it's original state before my code can save the editing data.

Any other ideas?

Greg:
Some code might be helpful. But I gotta stick with my original
recommendation. You say "Post back is returning the data to it's orignal
state"...but that must be because you are telling it to do that. In your
Page_Load you must be setting data to it's state. Remember, on Postback,
Page_Load fires first, then the button's click event handler.
