Is this a PostBack Problem?

[MrMike]

I have a datagrid containing a drop-down-list. The datagrid contains
Edit,Update,Can cel buttons and respective events. Whenever I make a change
to one particular field (a drop-down-list in column3), as soon as I click
UPDATE the original value which existed at load-time replaces the value I
chose. Is this a postback problem, and if so how would I resolve this?

Thanks.

Hi MrMike,

This probably is a post back problem.
Add a check in the Page Load event like this:
if( !IsPostBack )
{
...call databind etc....
}

Rakesh, If I modify the Page_Load event for "If Is Postback Then..." no data
appears on the form. If I modify the Page_Load for "If Not Is Postback
Then..." then data initially appears on the form but once I click EDIT the
data goes away.

Should the logic go somewhere else, like in the UpdateCommand event or
something? Thanks!

Hi MrMike,

Sorry I didn't explain everything earlier.

Bind the datagrid as I said in the check for PostBack.

In the command events, then set the appropriate index properly and then call
DataBind again.

Let me know if I could be of more help.

Thank you very much Rakesh. I'm headed in the right direction now.
