Editing for GridView and DetailsView with Access 2007

Here is a sample gridview and detailsview with editing capability with Access 2007 data. The key is to connect to the Access 2007 database table.

Connection string in your webconfig:

<connectionStrings>

<

add name="Access2007ConnectionString" connectionString="Dsn=MS Access Database;dbq=|DataDirectory|\Database1.accdb;" providerName="System.Data.Odbc" />

</

connectionStrings>

FYI: You can try another way to connect to Access 2007 in your code if you choose to:

string strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + Server.MapPath(".") + "\\App_Data\\Database1.accdb;" ;

Here is the sample code:

   <asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataKeyNames="CartridgeName">
            <Columns>
                <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="CartridgeName" HeaderText="CartridgeName" ReadOnly="True"
                    SortExpression="CartridgeName" />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="UnitsInstock" HeaderText="UnitsInstock" SortExpression="UnitsInstock" />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="UnitsNeeded" HeaderText="UnitsNeeded" SortExpression="UnitsNeeded" />
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Access2007ConnectionString %>"
            DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Cartridge] WHERE ([CartridgeName] = ?)"
            InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Cartridge] ([CartridgeName], [UnitsInstock], [UnitsNeeded]) VALUES (?, ?, ?)"
            ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Access2007ConnectionString.ProviderName %>"
            SelectCommand="SELECT [CartridgeName], [UnitsInstock], [UnitsNeeded] FROM [Cartridge]"
            UpdateCommand="UPDATE [Cartridge] SET [UnitsInstock] = ?, [UnitsNeeded] = ? WHERE ([CartridgeName] = ?)">
            <DeleteParameters>
                <asp:Parameter Name="CartridgeName" Type="String" />
            </DeleteParameters>
            <UpdateParameters>
                <asp:Parameter Name="UnitsInstock" Type="String" />
                <asp:Parameter Name="UnitsNeeded" Type="String" />
                <asp:Parameter Name="CartridgeName" Type="String" />
            </UpdateParameters>
            <InsertParameters>
                <asp:Parameter Name="CartridgeName" Type="String" />
                <asp:Parameter Name="UnitsInstock" Type="String" />
                <asp:Parameter Name="UnitsNeeded" Type="String" />
            </InsertParameters>
        </asp:SqlDataSource>
        <asp:DetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" Height="50px" Width="125px" AllowPaging="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
            <Fields>
                <asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" ShowEditButton="True" ShowInsertButton="True" />
            </Fields>
        </asp:DetailsView>
