I have table in which one column is a rendered view of an another view(DateTimeComponent) . If I try editing the date in the rendered view column in the table and select a different row, the earlier edited column does not retain the value.

How can this be achieved?

you will have to use messages in the view with the datecomponent to update the datasrouce of the table.

It’s seems that the data source is updated every time we edit the cell.

I want to have a separate button called **save**. So that after editing all the cells I can click on the “save” button to update the data source.

I have said what you can do for that in this topic too.

> scope should probably be page instead of view. Updating the table directly is dangerous… Because im guessing you want the tables data to be filled by a binding it self. This will cause the binding to rewrite the data, so the users edit will be lost. Either update the sql directly here, or if they have to press a confirm button somewhere first, save all the changes seperately and make your table combine the pulled data and the changes I dont think this will do anything because the event comes…
