Chap 13, TIO page 443 -- steps are missing?

mkaftor · March 12th, 2012, 11:07 PM

I'm using vStd 2010 Pro. Following steps 1-4 to the letter, my markup comes up slightly different than yours on step 5. By typing, I was able to get the code to look and behave as in the TIO, but why the discrepancy? What step am I missing?

Here is the code I'm getting. Markup between >>>>> and <<<<< was manually typed in:

HTML Code:

   <asp:DetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" 
                    >>>>>>AutoGenerateRows="False"
                    DataKeyNames="Id"<<<<<
                    DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" 
                    DefaultMode="Insert" 
                    Height="50px" 
                    Width="125px">
      <Fields>
         >>>>>>><asp:BoundField DataField="Id" HeaderText="Id" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="Id" /><<<<<<
          >>>>>><asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" /><<<<<
          >>>>>><asp:BoundField DataField="SortOrder" HeaderText="SortOrder" SortExpression="SortOrder" /><<<<<
         <asp:CommandField ShowInsertButton="True" />
      </Fields>
   </asp:DetailsView>

Thanks for your help. mk

Hi there,

Take a look at these two threads:

Chapter 13 p.443 Try it out
Possible Errata in Chapter 13?

Seems like a bug in Visual Studio. Clicking Refresh on the Smart Tasks panel may do the trick. Also, make sure your database is set up correctly with the Id column set as the primary key.

Cheers.
