I’ve had a look at the other issues people have reported but none of these solve the problems I’m having. I’ve been using this walkthrough from MS to manipulate an Access DB using an ASP.net application. Unfortunately the button to add a row has worked once and no longer does anything on either my local webserver or the inbuilt .NET one. I can’t work out what the issue is and I’ve been banging my head against the desk since yesterday.

Here’s my code;

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="editTest._Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:DataGrid ID="datagrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
        oncancelcommand="datagrid_CancelCommand" oneditcommand="datagrid_EditCommand" 
        onupdatecommand="datagrid_UpdateCommand">
        <Columns>
            <asp:EditCommandColumn CancelText="Cancel" EditText="Edit" UpdateText="Update">
            </asp:EditCommandColumn>
            <asp:BoundColumn DataField="firstName" HeaderText="First Name">
            </asp:BoundColumn>
            <asp:BoundColumn DataField="lastName" HeaderText="Surname"></asp:BoundColumn>
            <asp:BoundColumn DataField="sex" HeaderText="Gender"></asp:BoundColumn>
            <asp:BoundColumn DataField="phoneNo" HeaderText="Telephone"></asp:BoundColumn>
        </Columns>
    </asp:DataGrid>
    <div>

        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />

    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

    You missed the event on the aspx:

     <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick='Button1_Click' />

    and make Button1_Click public or protected.

    Or, you can set it in the code-behind:

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack) ReadRecords();

        Button1.Click += Button1_Click;
    }
