If this is a web project, you did not say so. Either way, the answer is that you use SQL to make the changes you want. If it's a web project, I'd use an AJAX call, passing in the correct id, but both ways, you handle a selection changed event, or the event of a 'commit' button, to run your SQL.

I try to avoid using AJAX as I have problems with my AJAX which would not work in Master page and I cant solve it until now. I have found the solution for the gridview updating at this link. http://technico.qnownow.com/2012/04/05/use-dropdownlist-in-asp-net-gridview-control/

I would avoid writing bad code because you can't figure out how to make things work. There is no reason for a master page to break AJAX, esp if you do real AJAX, not use the ASP.NET AJAX library to do it for you.

what do u mean by real AJAX?

Christian Graus 22-Jul-12 22:54pm

AJAX is a standard thing, which has nothing to do with MS. Microsoft's library tries to wrap AJAX to make it easy to use. Those libraries can clash with one another. Just writing AJAX code, using jQuery, will always work.

Why post a question before you research?

I havent found it before I post this. I am in hurry to complete my project before the due date. Sorry.

Christian Graus 22-Jul-12 22:54pm

Why do you have a due date, if you don't know how to do basic web development ? Why accept a project before you know how to do it ?

This is my first job. Sorry to be too dummy. And I think it is not wrong to ask if I dont know
