Formview and ObjectDataSourc e Update method

[Aamir Ghanchi]

Hi,

Why does the Update method of an ObjectDataSourc e class requires
parameters for each of the Bind input controls of a FormView?

I have a class (say MyObjectDataSou rce) that is being used as an
ObjectDataSourc e for a FormView control. MyObjectDataSou rce has public
properties that correspond to db table columns and are also used to <
%# Bind("")%Input controls in the formview declaratively.
There is an Update method in MyObjectDataSou rce that requires a
parameter for each and every Bind server controls. Otherwise I get a
server error that reads something like this

ObjectDataSourc e 'MyObjectDataSo urce' could not find a non-generic
method 'MyUpdateMethod ' that has parameters: param1, pram2 and on and
on till it lists all the public properties to which the server
controls are bind.

I thought It was a given that the Update method should inherently know
about the Bind controls as they are bind to the public properties in
the same class of which the Update method is part of.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a need for design improvement
in Asp .Net in this regard.

thanks!

Hi

Does the data row being updated have a unique key, and if so is it
named in the DataKeyNames property of the Formview?

Hi Phil,

Yes it is a unique key and is in the DataKeyNames property of the
Formview.

Thanks.
