Hello,

I'm not able to add a DataRow to a DataTable, believe it or not. I'm sure it has something to do with the scoping of the DataTable object, but I don't know what. When I set up the code in one method procedurally, everything works fine.

I declare the table at the class level:

public partial class OrderCreate : System.Web.UI.Page 
{

// Fill this table with items as you're building the order.
public DataTable dtItems = new DataTable();
DataColumn Col1=new DataColumn("Product_Number",typeof(System.String));
DataColumn Col2=new DataColumn("Name",typeof(System.String));
DataColumn Col3=new DataColumn("Description",typeof(System.String));
DataColumn Col4=new DataColumn("Price",typeof(System.Decimal));

I then attempt to add a row to it when I click on a GridView:

    DataRow row = null;
    row = dtItems.NewRow();

    row[0] = gridProducts.Rows[gridProducts.SelectedIndex].Cells[2].Text;
    row[1] = gridProducts.Rows[gridProducts.SelectedIndex].Cells[3].Text;
    row[2] = gridProducts.Rows[gridProducts.SelectedIndex].Cells[4].Text;
    row[3] = gridProducts.Rows[gridProducts.SelectedIndex].Cells[5].Text;

    dtItems.Rows.Add(row);

    gridOrder.DataSource = dtItems;
    gridOrder.DataBind();

It gets stuck at one record and never adds more. What am I missing?

A DataTable and a GridView are two different things.
In your code you are adding a row to the DataTable, which is something that happens in memory somewhere. You show me no code to change the GridView control you see on the screen.
