Hi Imar,

I was trying to add the functionality in ex. 2 to the original AddEditReview.aspx page. I tried changing the

Response.Redirect("Reviews.aspx"); in EndEditing() to

Response.Redirect(string.Format("Reviews.aspx?Genr eId={0}",GenreList.SelectedValue)); ---> But I noticed I could not directly access the genre list in the DetailsView template.

Is there a way to access the value of the selected item in the genre list?

Thanks,

Tulsi

Hi Tulsi,

You can access the ID in the Inserted and Updated events and then forward that to EndEditing:

Code:

protected void DetailsView1_ItemInserted(object sender, DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs e)
{
  int genreId = Convert.ToInt32(e.Values["GenreId"]);
  EndEditing(genreId);
}

protected void DetailsView1_ItemUpdated(object sender, DetailsViewUpdatedEventArgs e)
{
  int genreId = Convert.ToInt32(e.NewValues["GenreId"]);
  EndEditing(genreId);
}

private void EndEditing(int genreId)
{
  Response.Redirect(string.Format("Reviews.aspx?GenreId={0}", genreId));  
}

Cheers,

Imar
