Simple GridView Problem

[Tina]

I'm trying to do something very straightforward in a 2.0 asp.net app with a
GridView - ObjectDataSource - DataSet.

I create a DataSet that accesses the NorthWind Customers Table - all columns
and I choose to generate all methods and updates. I connect this DataSet to
an ObjectDataSource and connect my DataView to the ObjectDataSource. (I did
not opt for optimistic concurrency) It displays just fine. Then I try to
change an address field in a row and get the error pasted below. The update
command that was generated is also pasted below. This is stuff right out of
textbooks. What is wrong?

Thanks,
T

ObjectDataSource 'ods2' could not find a non-generic method 'Update' that
has parameters: CompanyName, ContactName, ContactTitle, Address, City,
Region, PostalCode, Country, Phone, Fax, original_CustomerID.
UPDATE Customers
SET CustomerID = @CustomerID, CompanyName = @CompanyName,
ContactName = @ContactName, ContactTitle = @ContactTitle, Address =
@Address,
City = @City, Region = @Region, PostalCode =
@PostalCode, Country = @Country, Phone = @Phone, Fax = @Fax
WHERE (CustomerID = @Original_CustomerID)

Hi Tina.
The problem could be caused by an incorrect setting in your
ObjectDataSource.Have you made sure the ObjectDataSource is configured not
to send original values together with your own parameters?
The ObjectDataSource OldValuesParameterFormatString property should not be
set if you want to send only your own parameters.

OldValuesParameterFormatString was set to Original_{0} so I set it to blank
and the same thing happens.

OK, Tina.
Try removing the CustomerID = @CustomerID from your parameter list.
I wonder why you are using an ObjectDataSource and a DataSet when normally
an SqlDataSource works directly with a GridView. I set up an SqlDataSource
and a GridView to view and update the Northwind Customer Table without any
problem, but the Update SQL code in the SqlDataSource did not include a
CustomerID = @CustomerID, because CustomerID is the primary key of the
Customer table. So try changing your Update code to

UPDATE Customers
SET CompanyName = @CompanyName, ContactName = @ContactName,
ContactTitle = @ContactTitle, Address = @Address, City = @City, Region =
@Region, PostalCode = @PostalCode, Country = @Country, Phone = @Phone, Fax =
@Fax
WHERE (CustomerID = @Original_CustomerID)

You may have to change the WHERE clause to

WHERE (CustomerID = @CustomerID)

If that does not fix the problem, I suggest using an SqlDataSource instead
of the ObjectDataSource.
