Chapter 12 - p406 - TryOut
Hello,
I am following the Try-Outs and in Chapter 12, p406 and I got stuck in points 9 and 10. After finishing point 8, point 9 says to remove the <EditItemTemplate> for the Authorized field (When I check the Markup, there is no such thing.
Also, point 10 is asking to modify the label control in the ItemTemplate of the Authorized field but also there is no such thing either (a label).
Any ideas?
thanks

Hi there,
Did you click "Convert this field into a TemplateField" as shown in step 6 / Figure 12-13 on the same page?

And? Does it work now? Or is it still not woring? I can't read your mind, so some more information woudl certainly help.
Clicking the Convert link should convert the Field into a TemplateField with the labels and other controls mentioned in the text. If you're not seeing that, can you detail the steps you're following? When in Split, do you see anything happen to the code when you click the blue link?
And what version of VS are you using?

I tried now for the second time the process again to convert the field into a TemplateField. When I do that the little icon next to the "Authorized' word changes (probably showing that now has became a TemplateField. However, I don't notice any change on code when in Split.
When I switch to the reviews.aspx markup and search for the <EditItemTemplate> or label can't find them!
I am using VWD 2008 Express

Just for the Authorized field in this page? Or does it also not work for other fields or in other pages? That would be a serious bug....

I went back to the Smart Tasks of the GridView again and change (just to test whether this affects other fields as well) the HeaderText from "Title" to "Title Test". It makes the change under the Selected Fields but no change in the Markup.

That's pretty odd. Is the file read-only? Does it contain invalid markup?
What happens when you create a brand new web site and add a single page with nothing but the control and a database connection?
You want to log a bug at http://connect.microsoft.com/
Cheers,

How do I check If the file is read-only? (don't think so though cause I added reviews earlier in the previous TryOuts).
It does not contain any invalid Markup and runs fine in the browser.
I created a new web site and put a GridView and a SqlDataSource.
I clicked the SmartTasks of GridView and added some fields. I also convert one field as TemplateField. When I pressed OK everything showed up fine in the Markup View even showing the <EditItemTemplate>

It could be read-only in Windows, but you would have noticed it was read-only if you saved it.
Can you post the full code here? Then I'll try to reproduce it. Otherwise, it must be a bug...
