Hi
I'm still a newbie here, so please bear with me.
At the top of the page, I display a gridview as a small scrollbox with 3 sortable columns (customer, region & contact) & a select button for each row. The source is a recordset (? dataset) from a SQLServer db query involving several joins and containing around 15 fields in total. The DataKeyNames is a further, customer ID, column which is not visible to the user. (As a point of interest, I found I could not use Visible="false" for this ID column - in order to have its value available to the GridView's OnRowCommand code-behind, I had to use css to remove it from sight.)
When the user has selected, the gridview control must remain visible for subsequent reselection.
However, the remainder of the page must now show the complete collection of recordset fields - not in grid style but to a 'prettier' layout. Some fields are dates etc so may require formatting. At the moment this is read-only; there may be a need to implement edit facilities later.
So far I have been unable to get the rest of the page to populate. I assume it's a gap in my understanding of how postback and (subsequent) databinding works. Can anyone help here please or point me to a relevant example?
