ASP.NET DataGrid Columns (combobox, datepicker and others)

Obviously, your task is to create a database connection and command that binds data to an ASP .NET DataGrid server control. Also you need provide your users with a friendly interface

One of the most permanent challenges in designing user interfaces is figuring out how to display large amounts of data efficiently and intuitively without bewildering the user. The problem becomes particularly thorny when the interface must give the ability to easily update and store the data that the user needs to modify.

The ASP .NET DataGrid control gives developers a powerful and flexible tool to meet this challenge. You do not need to look for some third-vendors’ costly datagrids. The ASP .NET DataGrid server control is smart enough.

ASPDataGridColumns .NET assembly from RustemSoft is a DataGrid Columns software package specifically designed for ASP .NET developers. The assembly allows you to use all strengths of the .NET DataGrid server control without waiving the user interface elements your customers need.

The downloadable samples explain ASP .NET DataGrid control basic operations and show how to extend it to display different kinds of data columns in an application-appropriate manner. By using the assembly you can create your own set of DataGrid Columns objects that defines custom columns for the ASP .NET DataGrid server control. A column is an object that defines what the column looks and behaves like, including such things as color, font, and the presence of controls that will handle linked field in a database with the use of a Combo Box, a Check Box and other control.

The ASPDataGridColumns dynamic link library contains the following DataGrid Columns:
- ASP DataGrid Combobox Column,
- ASP DataGrid TextBox Column,
- ASP DataGrid DropDown Column,
- ASP DataGrid DatePicker Column,
- ASP DataGrid CheckBox Column,
- ASP DataGrid DateTime Column,
- ASP DataGrid Numeric Column,
- ASP DataGrid Text Fractions Column,
- ASP DataGrid TextEdit Column,
- ASP DataGrid UpDown Column

The DataGrid Web control is by far the most versatile and powerful of all ASP .NET controls. RustemSoft ASP DataGrid Columns assembly extends its features. The assembly not only does it have many properties for every DataGrid Column object that you can set programmatically, but it lends itself to more advanced functionalities of customization. The RustemSoft ASP DataGrid Columns assembly contains the special DataGridCommands class that helps you manage a DataGrid's datasource. It allows you to input, update and store data into rows in a currently opened datasource. RustemSoft tried to approximate the Windows Forms DataGrid implementation to ASP .NET DataGrid server control and we got an amazing result. By using UpdateDataSource method of the class you can easily save all updates that your user made in ASP DataGrid interface into bound datasource.
