Here's a bit of a strange one. I have followed to the letter all instructions in Chapter 18 regarding the creation of the database, and its presentation in a GridView control. I have checked all the obvious; the GridView control is set to "visible"; it really is on the page it should be; the proper page is set as starting page. Still, upon compiling and running the page on which the GridView control has been set and configured, the GridView simply isn't there. This is almost certainly something dumb on my part, but what?

Anyone else experience this? Any ideas?
Thanks.

I havent done the exercise myself but reading through the example, check to ensure that the new page is your start up page for your website .. you might be starting up the Default.aspx page instead of the new page with your Grid on it. The other option is to right click your new page and select Open in Browser ...

Hope this helps.
