I’ve been making my first ASP.NET Visual Studio website and I have just started

  • 0

I’ve been making my first ASP.NET Visual Studio website and I have just started working with databases, I’ve made a table and a backoffice page for me to control the content of my table.

This page follows the following rules:

-> I’ve added the SQLDataSource and configured.

-> I’ve added a gridview to see my content and configured it to my SQLDataSource, here I’ve added the Edit/Delete options.

-> I’ve added a DetailsView configured to my SWLDataSource, here I’ve added New option (to create new entries in my table)

My database has the id column set as primary key (data type=int; allow nulls=not checked)

Every time I try to update my data base through this backoffice page I get the following error:

Updating is not supported by data
source ‘SqlDataSource1’ unless
UpdateCommand is specified.
Description: An unhandled exception
occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the
stack trace for more information about
the error and where it originated in
the code.

Exception Details:
System.NotSupportedException: Updating
is not supported by data source
‘SqlDataSource1’ unless UpdateCommand
is specified.

during the execution of the current
web request. Information regarding the

    The errormessage says it all : ‘Updating is not supported by data source ‘SqlDataSource1′ unless UpdateCommand is specified.’. You have to assign sql code or the name of a stored procedure to the property UpdateCommand so that the SqlDataSource knows how to handle your update.
