Hi,
I am trying to fix this page in aspx 3.5 , C# . The code is in Linq and does not insert the values from the form.
I have about 20 fields to be updated in a single aspx page, whoever developed this page did the following:
divided the page into  4 sections, each section has its own edit hyperlinked button to put the section in edit mode( for all 4 sections) a user can make a selection from drop down list to filter the requested records from the DB, then once the form is populated, a user can click any edit hyperlink ( in one of the four sections above ). however, when I run it , it does not make update to the table.   Here is some code  . I never worked with Linq, so your help is apprecited.... why it is not making the update when I call the stored procedure.. I have used the debuger and find out that  this method does not capture the values from the GUI ... private Dictionary GetValues() {.... see full method below} what I ment, is when I run the deguger  and when it test    if(inputControls.Count >0 ) .. it skip it and the code inside the if statement never executed, this tells me that the GetValues() method does not fill the iput control and that is what I need to understand why it is not capturing the values???   thanks Bob 








 

Most of the aspx page contains label, sever control, div tag with runat="server" (not sure why it is there??)  and 
 tag

 this is part of the code behind  , it does not capture the values from the GUI ??

protected void btnSaveData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Dictionary values = GetValues();

if (values != null && values.Count > 0)

{

int? retVal = apporBL.SubmitApportionmentValues(ddlAslProgram.SelectedValue,

Convert.ToInt32(ddlCohort.SelectedValue), Convert.ToInt32(ddlFiscalYear.SelectedValue),

values);

if (retVal != null || retVal != 0)

{

//lbAssocBudgets.Items.Clear();

#region Reset Values

ResetHtmlControls();
