Datagrid below. It will not display. The page shows nothing but the
html header. I have tested the query in query analyzer. Records exist
and should be displayed. I've stripped out all extraneous code to try
to narrow down where the syntactic flaw is but am still coming up
short. What am I missing here? I bet it's obvious... :-/

Never mind. After 2 days of blank stares I naturally figure it out 5
minutes after posting it here. gah!
My .aspx page looked like the below example... my columns were outside
my grid.  *rolling eyes at myself*
<asp:datagrid>
....
</asp:datagrid>
<columns>
....
</columns>

Hrmm....

Actually, refresh this question. Heh.
Now the page displays, but when I click edit, the datagrid vanishes.
IOW, the page refreshes, but the datagrid is not displayed.  *sigh*

And scratch this one too. For those future .net newcomers who google
this in the future... try setting the enableviewstate property in your
datagrid to "true."

;)

Or the alternative with disabled viewstate: bind on every page load (not
just when PostBack is false). :)
