Chapter 12, Customizing GridView Columns
Hi,
On page 404 it asks me to click on the Advanced... button to have VWD generate commands for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. However when the dialog box comes up everything is greyed out and not accessible.
I cancelled out and continued, but now on page 406, step 10, I cannot find the label control "ItemTemplate" mentioned. Can you help?
Fred

Hi Fred,
Did you give your table an ID column that is the primary key and an identity?

Hi Imar,
Thanks for the quick response. In my database (which BTW is MSSQL 2005), in the review table, I have the ID column as the primary key, "Is identity" is YES, identity increment is 1, and identity seed is 1.
Is this what you meant?

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Not having a primary key has so far been the only reason for the items being grayed out.
What happens when you try a different table? Do you get the same behavior? And this might be obvious, but is the table you used to check the column in the same database as the one you're using on page 404?

Hi Imar,
You're the man! My bad! I was using the SQL 2005 database, but looked at the express database. The SQL 2005 version had no primary key set. After setting it the option is now available in the Advanced options dialog box.
One thing however, would the above problem prevent me from not having the label control "ItemTemplate" of the Authorized field, as mentioned on page 406 step 10?
Much Thanks,
Fred

I don't think so. I just tried it with a new database and a table without a primary key, and converting a field to a Template Field does give me the label inside the ItemTemplate item.
Cheers,
Imar
