Hello all,
I'm looking for a point in the right direction on 2 particular items I'd like to get started on :
1. A WebDataGrid which is updated asynchronously. The grid will need to refresh itself every N seconds, and I would like to be able to note when a cell has changed.
2. The same grid would hopefully support a parent/child relationship, with the Child items being in a collapsible grid within the row of the parent.
I'm assuming the WebDataGrid is the grid of choice from what I've read so far, but if that is not the case, I'm all ears.
Thanks beforehand for any info.
UltraWebGrid has it's own refresh method. You can try using that.
If using UltraWebGrid, can I just use a WARP and set the RefreshInterval value to something to refresh the grid? Or is there more involved?
Hi,
If you need a simple refresh you could put the grid in an UpdatePanel and refresh it on a timer.
As for noting which cells were changed, it is a bit harder. May be instead of placing the grid in an update panel you could return changed cell values from a webservice and put the values into the cells on the client changing the background color of the cells at the same time.
WebDataGrid currently does not offer hierarchy. UltraWebGrid does. Here is a sample with it in which you may be interested:
