Updating the first row only?

[George]

The flow of my app is as follows
1) Pull up an order and change the quantity of a textbox item. (Ex: change the quantity from 1 to 2
2) Click on the Update button
3) When the page posts back you should see the updated quantity of the item. (by the way, in some cases there will be multiple lines for an order...this is where the problem comes in.

What happens is that the process works...for the first row of data only. I need the app to update all lines of an order, not just the first line. Below is the problematic code

//Code Star
for(int counter = 0; counter < tbl.Rows.Count; counter++) //I have verified that the count of table rows is correct, no matter the amount...so the issue is not with the row coun

objCommand.Comm andText = "update_qp" ; //this is the stored procedure which is a simple update statement. there is nothing to it
objCommand.Comm andType = CommandType.Sto redProcedure
objCommand.Para meters.Clear(); //I clear the parameters just in case
objCommand.Para meters.Add("@Qu antity", tbl.Rows[counter]["Quantity"]); //if you set the counter variable to 1 it will update the second order line correctly, if you set the counter variable to 2 it will update the third order line correctly, etc. this is good because it shows that the data is there and it is correct. However, by default (i.e. leave it set to tbl.Rows[counter]) it will only display the first row (i.e. tbl.Rows[0]) , even though this code is contained within a looping structure
objAdapter.Upda teCommand = objCommand
objAdapter.Upda te(tbl)

//Code En

Does anyone know what is going on? The data is all there, it recognizes how many rows the table has, and it updates perfectly if you hardcode the row numbers. So why won't this work by looping through? Does it have something to do with the objAdapter.Upda te?

I'm confused - you are setting a stored procedure on a SqlCommand object -
but then using a data adapter to do the updating?

When you call Update on the data adapter, it does the update on ALL the rows
in the entire table. After that, it calls AcceptChanges, which resets the
state of all the rows to unchanged. Any other Updates you call after this
in your loop, won't do anything - as all the rows are marked as unchanged,
hence, there is nothing to update. So if you command is data adapter's
update command is objCommand, then, the update will happen once - with the
value at row 0 being used for all the rows in the table.

It turned out that objAdapter.Upda te was indeed the problem. It should have been objAdapter.Fill . Now it works perfectly
