Hi - I have a couple questions about using the data grid control. I am running DNN v 6.1.3 and DF v 4.0.1.

I an preparing a form in which I want to capture several fields of information (e.g., First name, last name and DOB) for up to about 6 individuals. The data grid is ideal for the front end, however, I am unable to get an Insert SQL completion event to work.

Specifically I have been evaluating this using your Demo 24. When I run an Insert SQL completion event using all fields in the script, the SQL Insert fails (the email confirmation, however, delivers). When I remove the grid view fields from the Demo 24 Insert script ( i.e., [WorkExperience] and [Education]) the Insert works fine for the other fields.

So I'm concluding there is an issue committing the data grid fields. Is this accurate? And can you suggest an alternative method to capture and commit the data summarized above?

Thank you.

Hi Mark - If you enable DEBUG MODE on the form, when you click submit I believe it will record more specifics on what the actual error is... More then likely this is a truncation issue (did you use the wizard to create the table originally that you are storying?). I imagine that the column that is storing this data is probably limited to maybe 500 characters and you need to make this set to NVARCHAR(MAX) or at least higher then it is.

You would have to run something like this under Host/SQL:

ALTER TABLE YOURTABLENAME
ALTER COLUMN YOURCOLUMNNAME nvarchar(MAX) null

You might want to reference other examples here:

Thanks,

Chad - that worked. I didn't realize that the Data Grid control was committing the HTML table tags (which makes sense once you think about it) and as a result the character count exceeded the max allowed for the field. Works beautifully now with the data grid fields as nvarchar(MAX).
Thank you.
