VB.NET DataGrid / Record Forms

[Jordan Marton]

Two questions here.

1) Is it possible to make a vertically setup datagrid. Basically, i am
populating the grid with only information from one record, and I want it to
list downwards as opposed to across. Is this possible?

2) Is there an easy way/template/function in VisualBasic.Net that will
automatically create an insert/update form for a record in a database?
perhpas a modified Datagrid with TextBoxes instead of labels. Is this
possible to do?

THanks

Jordan,

1) Is it possible to make a vertically setup datagrid. Basically, i am

You would be better off using the DataList or Repeater control. They are
more appropriate for this type of display. I would probably use the datalist
myself.

2) Is there an easy way/template/function in VisualBasic.Net that will
automatically create an insert/update form for a record in a database?
perhpas a modified Datagrid with TextBoxes instead of labels. Is this

Yes! While in your web project go to the menu and click "File-Add New Item"
then in the template area (on the right) of the window that opens choose the
"Data Form Wizard"
Sincerely,
