[Antonio D'Ottavio]

Here's the code :
void Update_Command( Object sender, DataListCommand EventArgs e)
{
String sNomeCampo =
((TextBox)e.Ite m.FindControl(" NomeCampo")).Te xt;
}

<ASP:DataList id="MyDataCampi " runat="server" HorizontalAlign ="Center"
RepeatDirection ="Horizontal " RepeatColumns=" 1"
OnEditCommand=" Edit_Command" OnUpdateCommand ="Update_Comman d"
OnDeleteCommand ="Delete_Comman d" OnCancelCommand ="Cancel_Comman d"
OnItemDataBound ="BindComboe s"

<ItemTemplate >
<tr style="backgrou nd-color:CCFF99">
<td width=10% align="center">
<asp:LinkButt on id="EditButton " Text="Edit"
CommandName="Ed it" runat="server"/>
<input id="HiddenIDCam po" type="hidden" value='<%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "IDCampo") %>' runat="server" />
</td>
<td>
<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,
"NomeCampo" )%>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>

<EditItemTempla te>
<asp:LinkButt on id="UpdateButto n"
Text="Update"
CommandName="Up date"
runat="server"/>

I am not sure where you are going with this, so let's just cover the basics
of data CRUD in ADO.NET with ASP.NET and see if it helps.

1. Get data
a) Set up command, connection, dataAdapter and DataSet objects
b) (optional, but recommended) - map the generic tables in the
DataAdapter to more useful names
c) Use Fill() on the DataAdapter to fill the data set
2. Fill the container - in your case, a DataList
3. User updates data
4. User submits form
5. Call Update on the DataAdapter to update data
6. Rebind the container with current data

Try this:

Hi Antonio,

The most possible reason to cause this kind problem is that the value in the
textbox is overwritten by value from DB (The datalist’s data source is
rebound.) before conducting update.

So make sure only binding data source when is not pastback:

if (!IsPostback)
{
Datalist.DataSo urce = datasource_Obje ct;
Datalist..DataB ind();
}
