This really shouldn't have much code in it anyway

private void DataGrid1_UpdateCommand(object source,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
/* don't put logic here. only lines to call your logic elsewhere */
}
You should not business logic in your controls. You should
not put business logic (no matter how small) in your event
handling sections or even form methods.
You'll be much better off enhancing your application if
your business rules are in classes that are not tied directly
to your UI or business layers outside of the parameters
passed in.

>Morris, that's pretty much what I said. We agree on the theory. I'm
looking for a good way to reencapsulate the code, as in, "what language
construct should I use?" Inherit from DataGrid? Write a helper
object? Write my own macro preprocessor?
It's a little hard to encapsulate anything coming off of the XML soap
interface, as the objects are not objects but just a pair of get/put
function calls. And the ASPX side of my module seems to react very
strangely to me inheriting from DataGrid.
I had no trouble working out how to plug COM objects together, back in
the day, as life was just a matter of locating, implementing and
invoking interfaces. Dotnet is a lot easier to work with, so far, but
it's not abundantly clear how I'm supposed to both encapsulate my own
code and interact with the twisty maze of microsoft objects that I have
to talk to on all sides. I would like to think that dotnet is good for
more than toys, but I haven't seen real evidence of that so far.
Can you recommend some books, or technical articles, that demonstrate
the right way to do things? I don't want clouds with lines between
them... I want code. It would be nice to do things "the right way",
from the beginning, but right now I'm just a ser after the way.
