The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

asp.net 2.0 GridView update question

Asked by Kevon in C# Programming Language, Programming for ASP.NET, .NET Framework 2.x

Tags: gridview, update

I have a GridView that I want to leave in update mode all the time.

Code:
<asp:GridView ID="gvOrders" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
    DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataKeyNames="order_number" >
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Product ID">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="Label8" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("product_id") %>'></asp:TextBox >
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</asp:GridView>                        

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
        ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:dbSales %>"
        SelectCommand="pr_get_audiobook_order_by_order_id" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="txtOrderId" Name="order_id" PropertyName="Text"  Type="Int32" />        </SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Now, in the code behind, there is an event that is fired when the person clicks "get order" that loads the gridview based on the text typed into the order text box... all trivial stuff.  However, the end user would like, when the grid view is started, for it to automatically go into edit mode ON ALL ROWS (hence putting the bind on a text box, rather than a label).  When they are done editing, they would like to click ONE button to update ALL changed items.  No problem, right?  I create a button which fires an event, handle the event in the code behind, yank the values out of my GridView and run a StoredProceedure to update each row in the database.

The problem is that I can't seem to get the data out of the GridView.  For all intents and purposes it's empty when I go to read it. I have tried addressing each row and cell
gvOrders.Rows[i].Cells[j].Text  but no matter what I put in i or j it always returns "".

What am I doing wrong?  Is there more code you need to see?
