Visual Studio.Net (2003) - Data Form Wizard Grid vs. Single
Hello folks,
I'm trying to make my development life easier (Hah! your first mistake you say>>>). So I'm trying my best to use the tools available in VS2003. Yes, yes,there are later versions. I'll get to them in time...
To ease my way from a handcoded fat-client asp pedigree I'm following the following tut: ww 15seconds.com/issue/051103.htm
About 2/3s of the way down it talks about using the Data Form Wizard (after establishing DA levels with SQL adapters etc.) Well, one of those steps is that I'll be given the opportunity to choose between a grid layout on the form(multi-item) or a single-item form. Well my lovely installation isn't allowing me that dialogue. You can see in the tut: Figure 6 has an enabled Next button. In my reality, the next button is disabled -- Hence I'm not given the chance to choose grid or single. When I finish - I get a multi-grid form.
I kind of suspect its my type of project (ASP.net web application) which shows up in my "Add Item" dialogue as "+Web Project Items" -- in the tut: Figure 6 it shows as "+Local Project Items". If so, that's bewildering. Web apps don't have single-item forms? Which reality am I in?  For 10 years I've built single-item web forms.
Anyway, please, does anyone know why that next button is disabled?
thanks, bryan
