Hi Asif,
I’m a newbie and I’m fascinated with your videos, I signed up for a whole year and I think it’s worth every penny. I have a SQL database that I’m trying to edit using your video as a guide. I created the dataview and it all looks fine but when I go to the editing tab in Dataview Properties, the the checkboxes for show, edit and delete are grayed out. Can you please tell me what I’m doing wrong? It works fine if the source is a SharePoint list so I’m thinking it’s a permissions issue but I don’t know how to solve it. Can you please provide some advise?
The reason that usually happens is that your data connection does not have the proper update/delete statements configured to the data source to allow you to turn on those features. For this, I would recommend checking your code behind in SPD to see if the SQL statements for those commands are present. If not, I would suggest you create a new data connection and make sure you make it write enabled.

Sounds like a buffering issue Kamaraj. Video plays fine for me.
Try another machine to compare the difference.
