This isn't an MVC question, but I can't go on with the example without resolving this.

I created the Dinner table in the DB and I went to Show Data to enter the columns. I get one row of all NULLs that is Read Only. I'm used to seeing a blank row where I can start adding data.

Are there some simple things I can try? Otherwise I can zip the environment up and put it somewhere public (probably Google Docs) for you to look at.

TAI,

Knute, can you post a link to a screenshot of what you are seeing?

This shows what I see after a "Show Data" of Dinners". There's nowhere to enter a row.

(I couldn't see a way to insert an image. Sorry.)

Mine looks just like yours. Can you click in the cell just below "Title" column? Should be able to fill in each field. When you tab out of the last field, the ID is automatically filled.

By golly , that worked. Thanks.

Would anyone please help to provide me the sample data of NerdDinner? It's best if I can have a table with data... :D

Thank you very much.

I too would like either the compete table or the full entries to create it. The illustration cuts off a lot of the data in the cells.

Thanks

The data does not need to match the book at all, especially latitude & longitude. The only thing that you should pay attention to is the EventDate. You must enter data that is a future date otherwise nothing will show up in your UI. It will hide any thing older than today's date.

The example data in the book has old dates, so it will never show up (unless you mess with the code and adjust it to show data for all dates).

Thanks for the tip.
