is databinding in asp.net read-only?

[neil m]

i have a dataAdpater and dataset, and can use databinding to set the value
of a textbox to a field in the database.

what about updating? what do i need to do? can asp.net/ado.net do it
automagically? it seems to have the code built into the dataadapter to do
the update... how do i get it to update the database if i change text in the
textbox and hit "ok" or whatever?

thanks

Neil,

how do i get it to update the database if i change text in the
textbox and hit "ok" or whatever?

You have to hand-code this, for starters see
http://asp.net/Tutorials/quickstart.aspx. Also, there are third party
components (such as our Table Editor at www.dvxp.com/dxtableeditor/ ;-) that
can handle database updates transparently.

Binding to text boxes is more complicated:
