asp.net c# DetailsView DropDownList fails to Update

I've created a DetailsView that displays data based on a selected item from a GridView. When the DetailsView is under Edit Mode, it displays dropdownlists that contain data from a SQL databind. The data displays in the dropdownlist without issue, but fails to update. All other fields succeed.
The data is bound to the drop down via OnDataBound.
The idea is to populate the SelectedValue with the current data, and populate what it can be changed to. This works without issue. It simply fails to update.
I believe it has to do with syncing the control with the "an" parameter, but am at a loss at how to do so.

Your update command appears to be part of the details view, and not part of any ObjectDataSource. Can you confirm your markup above is correct?
Edit
In your UpdateParameters group, you aren't getting the values from the controls. Try doing the following:
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter />
...snip
<asp:ControlParameter Name="an" ControlID="idOfWhateverControlHasTheUserSetValue" Type="String" />
...snip
</UpdateParameters>

I took your advice and did a little research about using the ControlParameter.
The fix was adding the following to the Update Parameters, and removing the auto-populated parameters for 'an'. Thanks for the help, Nick.
<asp:ControlParameter Name="an" ControlID="userDetails$anEditDD" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String" />

DetailsView DropDownList not updating

I am new to ASP.net so I'm just now getting into using TemplateFields. I have a DetailsView which contains a DropDownList that has it's items populated from my codebehind when the DetailsView is in EditMode.
This much is working fine. However, after selecting an item from my DropDownList, and clicking "Update" the selection is not updated, however the other DetailsView form values are.
Here is my code:

if (statusList != null)
{
statusList.Items.Add(new ListItem("Select Status", ""));
statusList.Items.Add(new ListItem("Active", "Active"));
statusList.Items.Add(new ListItem("Inactive", "Inactive"));
statusList.Items.Add(new ListItem("Terminated", "Terminated"));

ListItem liItem = statusList.Items.FindByText(row["Status"].ToString());
if (liItem != null)
{
statusList.Items.FindByText(row["Status"].ToString()).Selected = true;
}
}
}
I'm not sure where to go from here. I've tried to change the Update command in my SQLDataSource for the DropDownList (named StatusList) but haven't had any luck. Any idea what I'm missing here?
Thanks for any help!

I don't think the statusList is bound to your datasource. You would either need to bind the dropdown in the aspx or in the datasource.
So, like this in the aspx...
<asp:DropDownList ID="statusList" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("datafield") %>'>
or in the data source parameters...
<asp:ControlParameter Name="status" ControlID="DetailsView1$statusDropDownList" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String" />

RadGrid(Gridview) Recursive Checkbox in EditItemTemplate Column for Inserts and Updates

I have a RadGrid with a Checkbox inside an EditItemTemplate for an Active or Inactive status.
This checkbox only shows when the item is being updated or added as new. I have a ControlParameter for the checkbox, but since it is recursive with many of these checkboxes in the list, it throws the good old "Could not find control 'cbActive' in ControlParameter" Error.
I dont have any real CS code other than the Radgrid binding on page load.
ASPX Code:
<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" Skin="Vista" Width="500px"
GridLines="None" AllowFilteringByColumn="False" AllowSorting="True" OnExportCellFormatting="RadGrid1_ExportCellFormatting"

<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="AccountNumber" Type="String" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="cbActive"
PropertyName="Checked" Type="Boolean" />
</UpdateParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

You aren't going to be able to set the value through a control parameter; what you can do though, is use an <asp:Parameter> instead, and set the DefaultValue property on the parameter via:
sqlDataSource1.SelectParameters[0].DefaultValue = "X"
Or, with the Grids, I know with the GridView it has a collection of values that it used to perform the update with; you could add an entry representing the checkbox control, which would get pushed into the data source. I know know if the RadGrid has the same option.

So it took a lot of looking around but i couldnt do this without tapping into the commands via the CS. Here is my new Code for it to work:

Set current date in formview

I want to put the current date in my formview 'dateadded' but its not showing when I load it in the browser. I'm using code behind but how can I display it with date and time?
Here's a my code behind.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
namespace LibrarySystem.AdminPage
{
public partial class ManageBooks : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Insert)
{
TextBox dateadded = FormView1.FindControl("dateaddedTextBox") as TextBox;
dateadded.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("d");
}
}
}
}

You have to use the Databound event for that...
protected void FormView1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Insert)
{
TextBox dateadded = FormView1.FindControl("dateaddedTextBox") as TextBox;
dateadded.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("d");
}
}
Edit: You need to pass your Date Column in the inserting method of the DetailsView
protected void DetailsView1_ItemInserting(object sender, DetailsViewInsertEventArgs e)
{
e.Values["DateColumnName"] = ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("dateaddedTextBox")).Text;
}

Instead of doing that in your Page_Load() method, try doing it in the Page_PreRender() method.

deleting row from gridview

I have 2 tables MachineGroups and Machines. MachineGroups has columns:
MachinegroupID
MachineGroupName
MachineGroupDesc
And Machines has columns:
MachineGroupID (FK)
MachineID
MachineName
Machinedesc
Now I want to delete a machinegroup but not the ones that have machines in it.
DELETE FROM MachineGroups
WHERE MachineGroupID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT MachineGroupID FROM Machines)
This will delete all the rows in the gridview which have no. of machines= 0
What i want is to delete only the row whose delete link is clicked...

Not tested, but the direction should be right:

ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:SumooHAgentDBConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT MachineGroups.MachineGroupID, MachineGroups.MachineGroupName, MachineGroups.MachineGroupDesc, MachineGroups.TimeAdded, MachineGroups.CanBeDeleted, COUNT(Machines.MachineName) AS 'No. of PCs' FROM MachineGroups FULL OUTER JOIN Machines ON Machines.MachineGroupID = MachineGroups.MachineGroupID GROUP BY MachineGroups.MachineGroupID, MachineGroups.MachineGroupName, MachineGroups.MachineGroupDesc, MachineGroups.TimeAdded, MachineGroups.CanBeDeleted"
