[RESOLVED] Making a DetailsView Display the Selected Row From a GridView

[jwesleycooper]

I need to make a DetailsView display a user-selected row from an already existing GridView. Additionally, I must also set up this web-app to not only add rows via input in textboxes, but also update or delete rows of data, as selected from the GridView... how can I configure my web-app and/or SQL Database to do all of this?

I managed to figure it out on my own. All I had to do was configure the DataSource from my GridView to generate Insert, Update and Delete Statements, re-use it as the DataSource for my DetailsView (enabling the insert, update, and delete features there), and finally set the DetailsView's PageIndex = to the GridView's SelectedIndex!

It may sound like a mouthfull, but it actually took very little time, and it's working straight off!

Hey,

Just to give you some more information on the above, even though you have now got the answer.

Here is a walkthrough, that shows how to do part of what you asked about:
