Datagrid or Table Control for my crazy report ?

ajaymehra

Hi,
Im trying to create a "MS Project > Resource Usage" type o
application report. The manager will see his resources work hour
distributed along a default time period (say 1 month). He then has th
option to zoom in or zoom out of this timescale. So, say he clicks o
the "zoom in" button, the timescale should change from months to weeks
If he clicks zoom in again - it should change to days. Zoom out will d
the opposite.
Of course, to accomplish this, I need to create the timescale an
get the data dynamically.
Currently I am creating a table control dynamically and changin
the timescale - but its a lot of code.

* What is the best method to do this ?
* Should I use a table control and dynamically draw rows and cells i
it, or should I use a datagrid ?
* Any other ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
A

Hi All I have been trying to add a control to the header cell of a datagrid on my ASP.NET page. These controls are defined in the HTML as ASP.NET web controls.

Access using .Net Datagrid

I'm a long time developer in Access. Noticing the "Why do IT guys hate MS Access?" thread made me think of my recent experiences in experimenting with VB .Net, and specifically, the Datagrid control.

I can load the entire table in a datasheet in seconds, with little additional impact on system memory. I can lookup, sort and filter on...

Datagrid validation

by: rodchar | last post by:

Hey all, I'm trying to implement validation in my asp.net datagrid. For example, if a user enters in a Customer ID I want it to check a different data table to see if the customer exists. I'm assuming I'll have to use template columns to add the custom validation control next to each textbox. Please correct me if I'm wrong because i'm having a challenging time with template columns.

Datagrid and formatting problems

by: tshad | last post by:

I have been trying to figure out what the Datagrid is doing to create its formatting. I found that some of my Datagrids have a 3D type of border and sometime it has a straight line. I finally found that it comes down to whether there is a "rules=all" attribute (which gives me just a thin black line). If that attribute is not there, you get a 3D effect. I haven't yet been able to figure out what causes it. Here is the table def that...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
