| A Practical Guide to .NET DataTables, DataSets and DataGrids - Part 4 |
| The Code Project |
| The purpose of this document is to provide a practical guide to using Microsoft’s .NET DataTables, DataSets and DataGrid |
|
| A Truly Excel-like Grid Control |
| MSDN |
| The ASP.NET DataGrid control generates an HTML output that really seems to be the Web counterpart of a Microsoft Excel worksheet. In addition, the control supports features like selection and in-place editing that can only further confirm this similarity. With in-place editing, in particular, the similarities are most clear. You click on a special type of command column and the grid redraws its content using text boxes rather than static text. At the same time, the command column changes the layout, replacing the edit link with two other links—one for saving and one for canceling changes. The overall design looks nearly identical to the Excel name box command bar. |

| Accessing DataGrid Information |
| DotNetJunkies |
| So many articles explain how to get data into a DataGrid, however this one will show you how to get data out. Luis will show how to read the contents of a particular column when the user selects an item. |

| An Extensive Examination of the DataGrid Web Control: Part 3 |
| ASP.NET - 4GuysFromRolla |
| This article is the third piece of a multi-part series on using the DataGrid Web control that will span several weeks. The ASP.NET DataGrid Web control, which displays database information in an HTML table, is highly versatile. The basics of the DataGrid were discussed in Part 1; information on specifying display properties of the DataGrid was discussed in Part 2. This article will examine how to associate custom events with the DataGrid. |

| Ask the DotNetJunkies : Building a Master/Detail DataGrid |
| DotNetJunkies |
| Question: I have a question regarding DataGrid. Can I bind a column of a DataGrid to another DataGrid? I have a situation where I have to display a few details in the same DataGrid on click of a HyperLink column. Thanks in advance.Regards, Prathibha Sharangapani. The Answer: Prathibha, this can certainly be done. You are describing a master/detail DataGrid. |

| ASP.NET Data Shaping |
| MSDN |
| Is it possible to port this model to Web Forms and get automatic synchronization between two DataGrid server controls? This is the question I will try to answer in this month's column. |
|
| Building a Generic Database Tool Using .NET and Three Tier Architecture |
| DotNetJunkies |
| In this article, Sun shows how easy it is to develop a n–tiered Web application to create a generic database tool using ASP.NET and the .NET Framework. The system is quite simple and is able to handle the management of any simple table in any database. It provides an excellent starting point for providing a generic database tool. |

| Building a Master/Detail DataGrid |
| DotNetJunkies |
| "I have a question regarding DataGrid. Can I bind a column of a DataGrid to another DataGrid? I have a situation where I have to display a few details in the same DataGrid on click of a HyperLink column." This can certainly be done. You are describing a master/detail DataGrid. For example, a DataGrid of customers with a column in each row that has an embdedded DataGrid of all the orders placed by that customer. |
|
| Building a Master/Detail DataGrid for Database Inserts |
| DotNetJunkies |
| We are going to build an example Web Form that you can extend in your application. We will have two tables - OrderMaster and OrderDetails. As the names suggest the former is a master table where as the later is detail table. We want to add one record in the master table and several others in the detail table. We will not display any existing rows on the screen to maintain a clean page. |

| Building a Master/Detail DataGrid for Database Inserts |
| DotNetJunkies |
| In this article, Bipin explains how to build a Web Form where the requirement is inserting many rows of data against one row of master data. He builds an example Web Form that you can extend in your application with two tables - OrderMaster and OrderDetails. |
|
| Building a Tiered Web App Using the DataSet and the ASP DataGrid |
| MSDN |
| This month, I'll walk through the development of a three-tiered Web application that retrieves data, allows the user to make changes, and sends the data back to the database using the DataSet object as the transport mechanism. |
|
| Building a Variety of Custom Controls Based on the DataGrid Control |
| MSDN |
| The DataGrid Web control is by far the most powerful and versatile of all ASP .NET controls. Not only does it have many properties that you can set programmatically, but it lends itself to more advanced forms of customization. In this column, I'll build a few flavors of DataGrid-based Web controls. In doing so, I'll review the major design issues that characterize these controls and answer some of the questions most frequently raised by readers after they tackled the series of DataGrid columns in the March through June 2001 installments of Cutting Edge. In particular, you'll see how to add a custom toolbar to a DataGrid control to accomplish common tasks such as New and Unselect. |

| Create and maintain a links page using XML as the datasource |
| http://www.swartzentruber.net/ |
| I wanted to play around with the idea of using an XML document to store a group of links. This XML document is read into an ADO.NET dataset table for the purpose of rendering in a datagrid or other databound control. |
|
| Creating DataGrid Programmatically |
| Bipin Joshi |
| Generally ASP.NET DataGrid is placed on the web form at design time. You add the <asp:DataGrid>control to the web form and then add bound columns to it. However, some timesit becomes necessary to create DataGrid via code and then add it to the web form. This articles will showyou how to do just that. |

| MSDN |
| Manage and persist user input before it's committed to the database |
|
| Displaying a Directory Structure in a DataGrid |
| DotNetJunkies |
| Recently, I had a requirement to create a data-dump as a directory structure and display the same in a DataGrid. In this article, I'll cover the concept of obtaining the directory structure and displaying it in a DataGrid. |
|
| Formatting DataGrid Columns |
| DotNetJunkies |
| In this article, Steve explains why to apply a custom formatting to the data in a DataGrid, it is probably best to use a TemplateColumn so that you have maximum control over how the data will appear in the grid. |
|
| Handling DataGrid Events |
| ASP Alliance |
| When a DataGrid starts up (you run the page), several events are fired at certain times, these events give you the opportunity to do some extra coding to change the DataGrid. |
|
| Handling Events in Programatically Created DataGrids |
| DotNetJunkies |
| This HowTo shows you the code to build DataGrids programmatically and handle the DataGrid.ItemCommand event. The code download is available in both C# and Visual Basic .NET. |

| Retain Scrollback Position After Postback in DataGrid |
| DotNetJunkies |
| One question keeps coming up over and over again; not only to me but I’m seeing it on newsgroups and forums also. The question is, "how can I make a page scroll back to the original position in a DataGrid when I user posts a form back to a server?" In this article I’m going to demonstrate one way to do it through the use of bookmarks. |
