About Column Types in Data Grids

Column Types in Data Grids A DataGrid control is formed by data bound columns. The control has the ability to automatically generate columns that are based on the structure of the data source. Auto-generation is the default behavior, but you can manipulate that behavior by using a Boolean property named AutoGenerateColumns. Set the property to false when you want the control to display only the columns you explicitly add to the Columns collection. Set it to true (the default) when you want the control to add as many columns as is required by the data source. The default algorithm for column generation creates simple data bound columns that use literal controls to display the contents of the corresponding data source fields. The DataGrid control supports additional column types that can render the column data so that it performs an action when clicked. BoundColumn Displays a column that is bound to a field in a data source. It displays each item in the field as plain text. ButtonColumn Displays a command button for each item in the column. The text of the button can be data bound. The command name of the button must be common to all items in the column. When the value for the command name is Select, clicking the column button automatically selects the row. EditCommandColumn Displays a button column that is automatically associated with the Edit command. This class receives special support from the DataGrid control, which is manifested as a redrawing of the clicked row using a template. HyperLinkColumn Displays the contents of each item in the column as a link. The link text can be bound to a field in the data source, or it can be static text. Also, the target URL can be data bound. Clicking a link column causes the browser to jump to the specified URL. This column class supports target frames. TemplateColumn Displays each item in the column according to a specified template, allowing you to provide custom controls in the column. Regards Mitesh

OT - Eclipsing .NET

You've heard the hype about .NET. You've read a couple of vague articles about dynamic discovery and invocation, service-oriented architecture, and how SOAP and a handful of other XML standards are forever changing the software industry. These ideas have intrigued you and you're interested in learning more - or at the very least, you recognize the importance of being able to add these acronyms to your resumé. In either case, you want to explore the world of .NET, but are unable or unwilling to fork over a thousand bucks for Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET product. This article is for you. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> http://www.sys-con.com/webservices/article.cfm?id=360<o:p></o:p>

Smart Navigation

Smart Navigation   "SmartNavigation" is a Boolean property which can be set in the page's code behind or in the @page directive... This property is really helpful in case you want to enhance user experience... Set this property to true and you will get following advantages in navigation if your browser is IE 5.5 and above... 1.) Maintaining the scroll bar position (useful in long length pages) 2.) Set focus to the same control on which it was before navigation (useful in pages with lots of controls) 3.) saving last page state in the browser history (useful when a page does not changes considerably across frequent postbacks... e.g. changing control values on change of dates in calendar control) 4.) The flash effect caused during navigation (useful when your page is pretty heavy to load)
