Refresh schema won't retrieve columns

Question

hi

Can you give me some advice on how to enable refresh schema so I can use it to (re)generate GridView columns:

• With ObjectDataSource controls refresh schema link works ( thus retrieves information from data source ) only when I change a property in a data source ( for example, if I make public property into private one ) and then re-compile the web page, and even then refresh schema will retrieve property names only the first time I click on it. Thus if ( after I already clicked refresh schema link once ) I remove from GridView tags, but I then want to regenerate those columns using refresh schema link, it wont work!

• Similary, with Sqldatasource refresh schema link works only if I change the SelectCommand string and even then only once.

thank you

Answer 1

If you are doing refresh schema, I think you are going to need to turn AutoGenerateColumns on

Answer 2

Even if I turn AutoGenerateColumns on, it still won't work ( besides, I don't think AutoGenerateColumns has anything to do with refresh schema )
