• .NET Development ObjectDataSource and instance methods

  Hello, I have a gridview and a objectdataSource associated to it. Here is the scenario I'd like to perform: Create an object (let's call it C) to store the infos of 1 line of GridView with a Save method in it Display the data in my gridview (data coming from a dataset or a list, I don't care) For the ObjectDataSource, give my Save method (which is an instance method) as the Update method.

• SQL Server Missing SqlContext.GetCommand() in new namespace

  I'm just starting with using the SQLCLR features in SSX, and I'm following the most recent Beta 2 MSDN docs. I created an SQL Server project and made a simple stored procedure method, and the problem now is the docs refer to SqlContext.GetCommand( ) inside the stored procedure method to return an SqlCommand object, but this method does not exist. I did some searches and noticed that the MSDN docs still refer to the old System.Data.SqlServer namespace where it has been replaced by Microsoft.SqlServer.Server in Beta 2. Pablo Castro (PM at MS) wrote a MSDN article about it here . A couple of blogs that cover ...Show All
