Hello all
         Could u tell me how to add rows in a database in bulk from a grid.Say i have added 10 rows to datagrid . Now with a single click i want to add these rows to database.

harry

Have an Update/Insert button. In the click event, loop through the datagrid items. Pull each value you need and construct an Insert statement. Then execute the sql statement for each pass of the loop.

Are you using 2.0 or 1.1? The gridview can be made updatable. You can use SqlDataSource.Update()

hi jim
        i am using 2.0.
Thanks

By using the SqlDataSource.Update() method, It will Update and/or Insert rows as needed. It looks a a row status to know if it is an Update, Insert or Delete.

HI Jim

Sorry Harry, just jumping on the back of this one!

How do you make the whole of a gridview in an editable status?

Hi Jim

Sorry another question on this subject.. Probably a simple yes/no..

If I was to make the whole gridview updatable and use the SqlDataSource.Update() method do I still need to loop through each row of the gridview or is this already taken care or?

Many thanks

Rit

I know there are ways to make the whole grid editable. In that case, you would need to loop through the rows to Update and insert. Otherwise it is taken care of you by the sqldatasource.Update method.
