Hi there

I can't seem to get this working. I have a datagrid with one single editable field. I call the update command and want to update my database with what the user has filled into the box, however, I cannot seem to get the value back from the text box, I keep getting the OLD value back.

 Private Sub grd1_updatecommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs ) Handles grd1.UpdateCommand

Response.Write(CType(e.Item.Cells(0).Controls(0), TextBox).Text)

 End Sub

That was just to "debug" and see what was being replied.

Anyone got any idea?

I have often had this problem and found that it had nothing to do witht he function submitting the result but actualy was with Page_Load. Make sure you have you code that builds your page encased in the following if statement:

if not page.ispostback then
   <insert code to build page here>
else
end if

otherwise everytime you page loads it will rebuild your grid and you will lose your new data before you grd1_updatecommand function fires. The first function/sub to fire on your page is page_load.

I hope this helps

Yes! Thanks Craig this was the problem, I forgot to have this in my page load event.

You are the man!
