DataList editing

[Etienne Tremblay]

Hi, I'm currently trying to implement editing in a simple
Datalist displaying news on my site. I did everything
the walkthrought of microsoft said to do, but it doesn't
seem to work.

Just for a matter of debugguing, I maintained a list of
what event is called in a session variable because I lost
way to much time on this and wanted to know what was
happening... When I press an Edit or Select button in my
<ItemTemplate>, the event is called and my item goes in
editing selected mode... But then, any button I press in
my <EditItemTemplate>, no event is raised... The
page_load event occurs and then nothing... Even the
itemCommand event is not raised.

My viewstate is enabled, I rebind my datalist after
pressing edit or select, but my update or cancel events
(or any other CommandName I tried) will never trigger any
ItemCommand or any other event at all.

I can post my code if necessary, but it's pretty long.

Thanks!

Etienne

Have you set the ItemCommand to the datalist?

Sometimes, when you change something in the code, the datalist lost the
itemCommand - Event!
