Eval displays incorrect data from CslaDataSource

gidzone posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2009

I am using two different CslaDataDataSourcson my page in order to display data.  The CslaDataSource A (CDS-A) displays data from the rootobject while CslaDataSource B (CDS-B) displays data from a child collection of the root object.

When the page does a postback in order to display the view with the data from CDS-B, the Eval("fieldname") seems to display the data from CDS-A.

Should I be using Container.DataItem instead, or is this a deeper issue?

Thanks!

My composite server control that was causing the postback was adding my controls to the page after my on change event was firing.  So, when I tried to manually call a .DataBind() on the ListViews that were displaying the data in order to trigger the OnSelect event, there was no INamingContainer to bind to it.  This resulted in an exception.

I switched the order of somethings around in the server controls I can now call a .DataBind() to fire the OnSelect event of the CslaDataSource control.

Thanks!
