Question

I am using ASP.NET and using a grid with the UpdateCommand to update 2 tables
I have the following but doesn’t seem to work as I do not get any errors but it simply does not update. From what you can see, am I on the right track?

     UpdateCommand="UPDATE [tbl_ProgDt] SET [Type] = @type, [Identifiction] = @samplePoint WHERE [Seq] = @valID UPDATE [tbl_Prog] SET StoreNum = @storeNum WHERE ID = (SELECT ID FROM [tbl_ProgDt] WHERE [Seq] = @valID " >


    <UpdateParameters>
      <asp:Parameter Name="type" Type="String" />
      <asp:Parameter Name="samplePoint" Type="String" />
      <asp:Parameter Name="valID" Type="Int32" />
      <asp:Parameter Name="storeNum" Type="Int32" />
       <asp:Parameter Name="valID" Type="Int32" />
   </UpdateParameters>

If you need to do something like that, it would be better to create a stored procedure and wrap the two update sentences using a database transaction

You need to specify:

UpdateCommandType="StoredProcedure" UpdateCommand="Stored Procedure Name"

In your Stored Procedure, something like this:

BEGIN TRANSACTION;

-- your update sentences

COMMIT TRANSACTION;
