GridView Update mystery

[David C]

I have a GridView tied to a SqlDataSource (table) with a PrimaryKey named
ID. When I click the UPDATE link button, the postback happens but nothing
changes. I put a comment in the Updated event of the SqlDataSource and the
comment shows.
I even checked the DataKeyNames on the GridView and that is set to the "ID"
column.
Can anyone tell me where else I might look to find out why the update is not
happening? I am doing this same thing in several other pages and they work
fine. Thanks.

Hi David,

did you check what values you update? Perhaps, you rebuild your grid
in the Page_Load method before the update proceeded.

Yup...that was it. Thanks.
