Searching for the record to update (ASP.NET)

When users want to update a record, they must first find that record in the database. 
Accordingly, you need a search page to work with the update page. The user selects the record 
to update from the DataGrid of results generated on the search page. When the user clicks the 
record, the update page opens and displays the record in a form.

For instructions on creating a page to search for the record to update, see 

.

After creating the search page, the next step is to create links on the results page that open the 
update page when clicked. 

Opening the update page and passing the record ID 
(ASP.NET)

ID of the record that the user selected. The update page will use this ID to find the requested 
record in the database and display it.

The record ID is passed to the update page in a URL parameter. For more information, see 

This section assumes you followed the instructions in
