Gridview Control - ntext field



Gridview Control - ntext field NewtoExpressionWeb

dotnet datatools: Hello Everyone,

I am using a asp.net gridview control to allow users to edit a table on an
SQL 2000 server. Most of it functions fine. However one field is an ntext
type field to allow for a very long description/writeup. The gridview
control in edit mode dosn't seem to like handling a lot of text. Sometimes
it won't save with the message it must truncate the data. Other times when a
user cuts and pastes the text from word or other apps, the gridview control
will only accept data to the first carriage return.

Is there a way for the gridview control to handle this? Do I need to write
it myself and not use an asp.net control?

Thanks in advance,
