Editable DataGrid Shows Old Values "After" Update

[Kevin Pedersen]

Hello, I am using an editable datagrid. After I save the changes the
datagrid shows the old values.

I've read the posts about the Page_Load and not binding the datagrid
each time. The SQL that is being sent to the database is correct and
the changes are eventually being made. If I refresh the page after the
update then the new values appear.

I noticed that when I put a breakpoint in my update handler everything
works fine. When I take out the breakpoint, I get the old values. It's
like the update isn't happening fast enough. I'm updating then
selecting before the update is finished. Or am I way off base and I'm
doing something else wrong?

Help.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Do you rebind the grid *after* update has been done? Post some code.

Once you've acquired the row to be updated, follow these steps:

1) Call DatRow.BeginEdit()
2) Change the values in the DataRow
3) Call DataRow.EndEdit()
4) Connect to the database
5) Call DataAdapter.Update(DataTable)
6) Call DataTable.AcceptChanges()
7) Rebind your DataGrid
