Super Beginner Here:)
My original scope was a simple datagrid where I could use the prebuilt vs2019 asp.net
delete and edit properties of the datagrid.

Now my boss wants me to do a soft delete instead and also insert the user's ID that they entered on the login page. I am sure it is ugly but so far I simply changed the delete command to an update statement and I am now correctly setting the update and delete flags and they are working in the table, exciting!
Now I can't understand how to get the useriD (simple text box, we call it a number) which the user entered in the login page (a different web form) and use that value in the update.
Thanks so much.
