Gridview Newvalues are empy after editing

[mlee1steph]

Hi
I'm having a problem getting the newvalues or oldvalues from the RowUpdating
event. I have the following code for the event(See note):
Protected Sub grdPOs_RowUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewUpdateEventArgs) Handles grdPOs.RowUpdating
Dim records(e.NewValues.Count - 1) As DictionaryEntry
Dim entry As DictionaryEntry
Dim DataKeyId as DataKey
try
Dim Itm as New POItem
'Copy the new values into the fields
e.NewValues.CopyTo(records, 0)
''*******************
'Please note, that at this point there is no values in records
''*******************
For Each entry In records
e.NewValues(entry.Key) = Server.HtmlEncode(entry.Value.ToString())
Next
DataKeyId = grdPOs.DataKeys(e.RowIndex )
Itm.POId = DataKeyId("ItemId")
Itm.CatalogNumber = DataKeyId("CatalogId")
Itm.Description = DataKeyId("ItemDescription")
Itm.Qty = DataKeyId("Qty")
Itm.UnitPrice = DataKeyId("UnitPrice")
Itm.Page = DataKeyId("Page")
dim b as Boolean = Utilities.RowUpdating( Itm)
grdPOs.EditIndex = -1
BindData(pUserId)
Catch ex As Exception
msgbox("Error in POAdminEditor.grdPOs_RowUpdating: " & ex.Message )
End Try
End Sub

I use the following function to Bind the grid:
Private sub BindGrid(poOrderid as Integer )
try
'load the data and return a DataTable
Dim dt as DataTable = Utilities.BindGrid(poOrderid)
'Set the datasource
grdPOs.DataSource = dt
grdPOs.DataBind
Catch ex As Exception
msgbox("Error in POAdminEditor.BindGrid: " & ex.Message )
Finally
End Try
End Sub

I can't seem to find a solution in current posts, so I'm hoping someone can
help. Thank you much.

Just wanted to post the markup for the gridview, to see if this helps. I've seen post mention that if the fields are not databound, there will not be any Oldvalues or newvalues generated, but as you can see, I've got most of the fields bound:
<asp:GridView ID="grdPOs" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
BackColor="White" BorderColor="#CC9966" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px"
CellPadding="4" DataKeyNames="ItemId" Height="68px" PageSize="5" Width="642px" AutoGenerateDeleteButton="True" AutoGenerateEditButton="True" AutoGenerateSelectButton="True">
<FooterStyle BackColor="#FFFFCC" ForeColor="#330099" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ItemID" HeaderText="Item ID" SortExpression="ItemID"
Visible="False" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="POrderId" HeaderText="PO Id"
SortExpression="POrderId" Visible="False" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Page" HeaderText="Page" SortExpression="Page">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="CatalogId" HeaderText="Catalog #">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" Width="80px" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ItemDescription" HeaderText="Description" SortExpression="ItemDescription">
<ItemStyle Width="250px" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Qty" HeaderText="Qty" SortExpression="Qty">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="UnitPrice" DataFormatString="{0:C}" HeaderText="UnitPrice"
SortExpression="UnitPrice">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" Width="70px" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataFormatString="{0:0.00}" HeaderText="Total" InsertVisible="False" />
</Columns>
<RowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#330099" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#663399" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#FFFFCC" ForeColor="#330099" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#FFFFCC" />
</asp:GridView>

Thanks again for any help.
