In the Wizard's ShoppingCart section, i notice that:
-if i change the value of delivery to DDL, the new value in NOT reported in FormView's Delivery

-The same, if a edit, from here via UC cart, a quantity of an ordered line, the new modified value is NOT reported in FormView's Subtotal.

Need a databind?

Yes, I noticed that too.
I did the following to get around it.

It isn't pretty, but it does work.

To get the Total to update when the order has been edited, I did the following:
Edit the User-Controls/Cart.ascx file and add a procedure to the ObjectDataSource1.Updated event

**** Begin Code Insert ***
        Dim crt As user_controls_Cart = DirectCast(ObjectDataSource1.Parent, user_controls_Cart)
        If crt.BindingContainer.ID = "Wizard1" Then
            Dim dv As DetailsView = DirectCast(crt.Parent.FindControl("DetailsView1"), DetailsView)
            dv.DataBind()
        End If
    End Sub
**** End Code Insert ****

To get the Delivery Amount to update when that changes, edit the Checkout.aspx unit and add a procedure for the Wizard1.ActiveStepChanged Event:

**** Begin Code Insert ****
        If Wizard1.ActiveStepIndex = 2 Then
            DetailsView1.DataBind()
        End If
**** End Code Insert ****

Can anyone else think of a better way?

I actually just worked up to this point in chapter 8 and was playing around and noticed this problem. I have not thought of a solution yet but I would think that the detailsView should be part of the Cart.Ascx Control. Maybe after that is done a bind can be placed in in the Updating, Deleting, inserting events of the object datasource

..would be nice to get an author opinion here :)

I see this has been a question for a long time - support is not that great here, huh?

For a great book check out ASP instant results by spaanjaars (WROX) - the author is very active in the support forom

Hopefully we can get an answer here

The authors have been very good about answering most questions promptly. This one must have just slipped through, I'll remind them to take a peek at it as soon as they can.
