I wouldn't imagine this is the first time anyone has want to do this.... so here it goes.
I've constructed an application with a "data forms" page which is nothing more than a simple <ul><li> dropdown menu of categories and items in categories which enumerate data table/view object names from the back-end storage (SQL Server). I have the SQL Server models and a working implementation for a "fixed" coded display of the data model in an igGrid using the MVC helper.
My goal is to use the <li> element value (constructed at run-time from the database menu data structure) to then reference the model I want to dynamically construct in the page. I'm OK with having the columns auto-generate. I just want to make this work first, then I can dive into the details.
Has anyone done something like this?
I'm using the strongly typed syntax for the igGrid construction (via ASP.Net MVC helper)
@(Html.Infragistics().Grid<LLMVC.Models.FTErequest>() .ID("myDataGrid") .AutoGenerateColumns(false) .PrimaryKey("id") .RenderCheckboxes(true) .Columns(column => {
....
Any help is gratefully appreciated!
