Hi Folks, I have a gridview associated with a sqlDataSource and in the gridview I changed some of the fields to “Convert this field into a TemplateField“ which renders text boxes and allows access to change the structure of the changed fields. I have taken out the text boxes, dropped in dropdown lists, associated another sqldatasource with the dropdown lists and changed data bindings. All of which worked fine until I slightly changed the data source of the gridview (I added another table and inserted one column from the new table). I have found that changing the data source makes my gridview revert back to its original structure, taking out all my dropdown lists.

Is this to be expected or am I doing something wrong. Note I changed the sqldatasource of my gridview by selecting configure data source from my gridviews smart task pane.

Many Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

When you make the changes to the data source, Visual Studio as you if you want to reset key and other information. When you answer yes, you get the behavior your describe below. When you answer no, your gird's code should not be touched.

Cheers,

Imar
