DetailsView Update Error

[Machaira]

OK, I'm stumped on this. I've got an ASP.NET 2.0 page with a DetailsView on it, tied to a SQLDataSource.

 

Here's the SQL Server 2000 data table I'm using:

 

[dbo].[CDRL Infromation] (

[cdrlID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,

[OPFI #] [varchar] (255)

[DID #] [varchar] (50)

[Field Instruction Title] [varchar] (255)

[Gov Lead] [varchar] (255)

[Due] [varchar] (100)

[Next Due Date] [datetime]

[Current Rev Date] [datetime]

[Current Rev] [float]

[sME] [varchar] (255)

[TECH WRITER] [varchar] (255)

[Days to Next Update] [int]

 

Here's the SELECT and UPDATES for the data source:

 

SELECT * FROM [CDRL Infromation] WHERE ([cdrlID] = @cdrlID2)

 

UPDATE [CDRL Infromation] SET [OPFI #] = @column1, [DID #] = @column2, [Field Instruction Title] = @Field_Instruction_Title, [Gov Lead] = @Gov_Lead, [Due] = @Due, [Next Due Date] = @Next_Due_Date, [Current Rev Date] = @Current_Rev_Date, [Current Rev] = @Current_Rev, [sME] = @SME, [TECH WRITER] = @TECH_WRITER, [Days to Next Update] = @Days_to_Next_Update WHERE [cdrlID] = @original_cdrlID

 

 

I attempt to edit a record and when I click the Update link on the detailsview I get:

Where the heck is the nvarchar coming from?!? I've tried looking at the data in the ItemUpdating event but it doesn't really present anything useful.

 

Any suggestions would be helpful.

"nvarchar" is probably the SQL data type that the SqlDataSource is using for your parameter variables. I have found that the SqlDataSource seems to like the parameter names to be the same as the field name (plus the "@" prefix). So, if I have a field named "my_field", SqlDataSource likes the parameter to be named "@my_field". I used to name my parameters something like "@MyField", but ran into some problems, especially with stored procedures.

 

How did you fill in the values for your parameters? Remember that the Name property for a Parameter object must not have the "@" prefix.

 

E.g.

[size=2]TestRunDataSource.SelectParameters.Add([/size][size=2][color=#800000]"system_id"[/color][/size][size=2], txtSystemId.Text)[/size]
[size=2]

[/size]

Not

[/size]

TestRunDataSource.SelectParameters.Add([size=2][color=#800000]"@system_id"[/color][/size][size=2], "System1")[/size]
[size=2]

I really think it has something to do with your parameters.
