ok. took out datasourceid, put dataview in. getting the original error of "Both DataSource and DataSourceID are defined on 'DataView'"

i'm executing the bind within the Private Sub Page_Load
i'm not doing any postbacks --- I'm getting the id via querystring sent from a different page

hi imar,

thanks for the advice.

i'm already trying to do what you're suggesting; however, the difference is this is a DetailsView and not a GridView. For some reason, I'm getting a "Both DataSource and DataSourceID are defined on 'DataView'. Remove one definition." error when i try to compile.

is there anywhere else that you are doing the bind??
is there anywhere that you are setting a datasourceid????

if you take out the original bind, it compiles????

okay. my first error was attempting to compile/test without passing an ID in the querystring. now i'm doing that; and, now -- i'm getting "Control 'DataView' of type 'DetailsView' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server."

now I dont understand you, didn't you just put the control on the page??
it's some kind of weird page????
do you have a form tag???

form tag... i wrapped it in a form tag -- that worked.

thanks for your patience.

Is it working now??

I used a GridView in my code, but the exact same logic and code can be used for other data bound controls like the DetailsView.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks a million for that post! I was having a heck of a time reloading the d-view after inserting a new record.
in C# it's

            detailsViewParty.DataSourceID = null;
            detailsViewParty.DataSource = newParty.GetEnumerator();
            detailsViewParty.DataBind();
