I have completed the try it out on page 491 chapter 14 however I am not getting the desired result.

Basically as far as I can tell I have followed through all the code and it builds and runs fine but when I select a review from the drop down list nothing displays. I can access my genres and the home section fine. It is just not displaying the reviews.

I don't really know why and I am not getting any detected errors so I don't really know how to go about fixing this.

I suppose it isn't connecting to the reviews table properly but if this were the case it would show an error.. so maybe it is something else that is either blocking or something like that?

Can you help?

Cheers.

Hi Will,

Did the page work OK in chapter 12? That is, is the DropDownList successfully posting back?

Also, try removing the AJAX UpdatePanel temporarily. It may be swallowing the error...

Thanks for the reply. From memory it did work but I will check it again later when time allows. Will also remove the update panel and report back.

Thanks.

Lol it was because I spelt "Authorised" the english way and not with a "z".

Thanks alot for the help.

Difficult problem to find at first.... I have that with words like colour and behaviour as well.... ;-)

Glad it's working again.

Cheers,

Imar
