GridView RowUpdating SqlDataSource.Update from CodeBehind

Question

So I am having an issue with doing an update in a Gridview during an OnRowUpdating event.

What I am trying to do is set the UpdateCommand in an SqlDataSource then update

Answer 1

Your UpdateCommand is supposed to be an UPDATE command, not a SELECT command.

SqlDataSource1.UpdateCommand = "SELECT Something FROM A_Table WHERE ID = " + e.RowIndex;

Change that line to something closer to this:

SqlDataSource1.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE A_Table SET Something = @Something WHERE ID = " + e.RowIndex;

See this msdn link for more info on how to use the UpdateCommand:
