UpdateParameters

[Guest]

I'm exploring Microsoft sample code. This is a master/detail scenario with
two SqlDataSources. The master table shows Northwind.Customers data. In the
detail table, I can massage a row of data selected from the master table.

In the SqlDataSource code that handles the "detail" part, I see a mile-long
<UpdateParameters> list:

<UpdateParameters>
<asparameter Name="CompanyName" Type="String" />
<asparameter Name="ContactName" Type="String" />
...
</UpdateParameters>

If I delete the list, the program works just as well.

- Why is that?
- What is the purpose of the list?

Thank you.
