Asp.Net and gridview, the most important control and also the most difficult one. Any TIPS and TRICKS?

Question

hi all I am new to asp.net. So need some practical tips and tricks for using GridView.

Answer 1

grid view is pretty slick especially in asp.net. You can check all the gridview tutorials on ASP DATA TUTORIALS.. it is the perfect place to start learning asp.net. If you don't want to learn then you can always add a sql database, insert a grid view and connect it to the data base via a datasource. Then you can play around with it. However i will strongly recommend those tutorials as they contain all tips and tricks you want to know. You can ask more questions here, i will be glad to answer.

Answer 2

Well, I have a few blog posts on the GridView:

1. Multiple Row Selections with CheckBoxes.
2. Checking All Rows Using Client-Side Script.
3. Attaching upload files to a record.
4. Sort Column Arrow Performance.
5. How to Work With a GridView Row in JavaScript.

All can be found here.

Answer 3

And I inherited from the GridView to create the GridViewTree - a multi-column treeview server control. So reviewing this might give you some other ideas.
