    <p>I have two tables in my database as following:</p> <p>Suggestions Table: ID, Title, Description, StatusID... etc</p> <p>SuggestionsStatus Table: ID, Status</p> <p>I am using GridView to show the Suggestions and in the last column I put a DropDownList that for selecting the status for each Suggestion. Now, when I tried to update the Status of one of the submitted suggestions by selecting the status from the DropDownList, the value has been selected but it wasn't inserted to the Database (which means still I have NULL value in the StatusID column in the Suggestions Table) and I don't know why.</p> <p>My ASP.NET code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ID" width="950px" CssClass="mGrid" AlternatingRowStyle-CssClass="alt" RowStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound" &gt; &lt;AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" /&gt; &lt;HeaderStyle Font-Bold = "true" ForeColor="Black" Height="20px"/&gt; &lt;Columns&gt; &lt;asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="ID" /&gt; &lt;asp:BoundField DataField="Title" HeaderText="Title" SortExpression="Title" /&gt; &lt;asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" SortExpression="Description" /&gt; &lt;asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" /&gt; &lt;asp:BoundField DataField="Username" HeaderText="Username" SortExpression="Username" /&gt; &lt;asp:BoundField DataField="DivisionShortcut" HeaderText="Division" SortExpression="DivisionShortcut" /&gt; &lt;asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status"&gt; &lt;ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#006666" AppendDataBoundItems="false" DataTextField="Status" DataValueField="ID" AutoPostBack="true" OnDataBound="DropDownList_DataBound"&gt; &lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt; &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/asp:TemplateField&gt; &lt;/Columns&gt; &lt;/asp:GridView&gt; &lt;asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="&lt;%$ ConnectionStrings:testConnectionString %&gt;" SelectCommand="SELECT dbo.SafetySuggestionsLog.ID, dbo.SafetySuggestionsLog.Title, dbo.SafetySuggestionsLog.Description, dbo.employee.Name, dbo.SafetySuggestionsLog.Username, dbo.Divisions.DivisionShortcut FROM dbo.employee INNER JOIN dbo.SafetySuggestionsLog ON dbo.employee.Username = dbo.SafetySuggestionsLog.Username INNER JOIN dbo.Divisions ON dbo.employee.DivisionCode = dbo.Divisions.SapCode" FilterExpression="[DivisionShortcut] like '{0}%'"&gt; &lt;FilterParameters&gt; &lt;asp:ControlParameter ControlID="ddlDivision" Name="DivisionShortcut" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String" /&gt; &lt;/FilterParameters&gt; &lt;/asp:SqlDataSource&gt; &lt;%--For the DropDownList--%&gt; &lt;asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="&lt;%$ ConnectionStrings:testConnectionString %&gt;" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [SafetySuggestionsStatus]"&gt;&lt;/asp:SqlDataSource&gt; </code></pre> <p>My code-behind:</p> <pre><code>protected void DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)sender; int suggestionStatus = int.Parse(ddl.SelectedValue); //For inserting the status in the database string connString = "Data Source=localhost\\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=psspdbTest;Integrated Security=True"; string insertCommand = "INSERT INTO SafetySuggestionsLog (StatusID) values(@StatusID)"; using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString)) { conn.Open(); using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insertCommand, conn)) { cmd.Parameters.Clear(); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@StatusID", suggestionStatus); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } conn.Close(); } } </code></pre> <p>I modified the DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged() as shown above but it gave me the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Title', table 'psspdbTest.dbo.SafetySuggestionsLog'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>So how I can fix this problem to be able to update the status of one of the submitted Suggestions in the (GridView) in the database?</strong></p>

    1. COWhere is the code for your `INSERT` into the database? The `GridView` control doesn't natively support inserts, you typically want to use a `DetailsView` or that.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
