Order ticket online - multiple selection

3 New Member
I am working on an online ticket booking system for my school project. I have done some research on a few web sites and notice that a few of them allow the users to select the seats as displayed on the screen. It is such a nice feature that I would like to add it to my project but I am new to ASP.Net and C#, thus I am not sure how difficult to implement such thing. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Can I use button control to represent each seat? If so, how to I capture multiple selection from user? Say the user select 2 seats in the last row before clicking the Next button to indicate ordering 2 tickets and the choice of seats.

Thanks in advance!

There are many ways to solve this.

You could create an image of the seating plan and then use the ImageMap control to let users select sections and/or individual seats.

Or you could create a Silverlight Application. This is a lot more interesting and will allow you to do much more graphically client side than you would using regular ASP.NET.

Or you could use links as you suggested, but I think the ImageMap is probably the easiest/most appealing approach to solving this.

Ticketmaster.ca uses ImageMaps :)

I forgot to mention that when a user click a "seat", he/she can also click the same "seat" to deselect it. I doubt imagemap control or button control can do this.

It is most definitely possible.

If you have any code you can be assisted with, please post it! : )

Ok I found something Sooo cool that I think will solve your problem :)
Forget Silverlight

Check out Sprites :) :)

Let me know how this works out for you because I love it :)

It's simple, clean, works in many browsers (even the older ones) and doesn't require any crazy stuff like Silverlight, Flash, or other things.

It's sort of like image mapping but not.

Create a list <ul> and add your LinkButtons into the <li>'s.
Position the <ul> list to absolute...then apply the background image (being your seating plan) to the list. Use CSS to move the <li>'s to the correct positions on the seating plan map. Apply an background image to the <li>'s that makes them look like seats. When the user selects them, just change the image (sprite).


So Cool!
Check it out!

If anyone is interested, here is the web site where I get the idea from:

http://www.gsc.com.my/rd/epayment_tutorial.asp

Check out the Seat Selection. It's the one related to my question here. Definitely very cool.

I didn't see a seat selection component there.
Did you check out Sprites?

Hi All I am finding unexpected results when inserted into a newly created table that has a field of datatype int identity (1,1).
