I’m working through the “Demo: Binding Data with the SqlDataSource” of this pluralsight video on ASP.NET Webforms.
All communication with the database works just fine, except it won’t change when updates are made. The only thing I’ve done differently from the video is to use Northwind.sdf instead of Northwind.mdf. The database exists in the project directory, which is under my Users directory on win7 — so it shouldn’t be a permissions problem.
What could be preventing it from updating?
In case anyone wants to try the sample app, I uploaded the whole project folder here on mediafire.
Maybe you have two copies of the database. You are updating copy A and then checking copy B.
Or, it could be one of the reasons described here: http://weblogs.asp.net/stevewellens/archive/2009/10/16/why-sql-updates-fail-three-reasons.aspx
