Data Grid Events

When the user presses the "Edit" link on the data grid, one of the fields is
a drop down list. I need to build this list at run time and I was using the
"DataBound" envent to populate the items in the dropdown.

The problem is that when the user makes a selection from the dropdown box,
it goes back through the DataBound event and rebuild the drop down,
effectively loosing the value for the selected index. I have tried the
"ItemCreate d" event, but the same thing happens.

How do you load a drop down control for a control which is in the "EditItem"
Template, but still retain the selected index value when the user has pressed
the "Update" linked button when in the "edit mode" of the datagrid.

Thansk in advance for your assistance!

Try adding a check whether the request is a postback or not. You should
avoid rebinding the data on each postback.

You have to have a post back to get into edit mode...so checking for
postback will ensure that I do not load the items into my control....

So this will not work.

The issue: I have a grid which has a dataset as the datasource. If a user enters data in a textbox on the grid and then clicks on the close button of the form (the red X in the upper right corner), no events fire for the grid or the control that the user was typing in. The closing event of the form does fire, and I check there to see if any changes need to be saved. If the user changes rows in the form, the typed data is transmitted...

Is there a way to carry data that I have already read from the datagrid from page to page? I am looking at my Datagrid that I page through and when the user says get the next page, I have to go to the database to get the next page. Is there a way to use the dataset to allow us to read back and forth in it instead of going back to the database to get it? Thanks,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
