An ObjectKey must have at least one key name and value.

I am experimenting with Data Access and after building my first project based around the Sofia Car Rental example, I get this exception:

 An ObjectKey must have at least one key name and value.

Source Error:

Following the Sofia Car Rental example does the exact same thing on deletes or updates.  Any ideas?  using SQL Server 2012.  

 Thanks.

Hello Todd,
Thank you for contacting us.

It seems the issue may be related to the DataKeyNames property of the MasterTableView configuration. In this property you should identify the primary key fields for the items displayed in a Radgrid control. For example if you have a grid in which you want to display the Categories from the Sofia Car Rental example, you should set the DataKeyNames property to "CategoryID" like this:

I hope you find this information helpful.

that was it.  Thanks!
