Binding

[dancer]

Using VB.Net and ASP.Net 1.1

I will create a form that will have maybe 20 or 30 fields. Can I bind that
information directly, or does it have to go into a database first?

Hi,

"Can I bind that information directly"...
Bind information where...
where is the data...?
and where you want to bind?

Thanks

You can bind it from an XML source or even from literal constansts. For
instance if you put the data into an ArrayList or a List<Tyou can bind
that.

But why would you NOT get it from a database?

As others have said, yes you can, but why make all that extra work for
yourself...?

A person will be filling in information on a form.
When I bind from a database, the information appears in columns and rows.
Do I send the information that the person fills in to a database first, and
then retrieve it to have it in colums and rows, or do I bind it from the
variables of the form without going to a database?
Maybe I don't know exactly what binding is. It seemed a simple way to get
info into a grid. ???

So what is the most efficient way to get information from a user input form
into a grid?

Thanks

Obviously you have to store the info somewhere, right? The form gets
bound to the database, then your datagrid gets bound the db as well.

1. I have found that when I include too much detail or more than one problem
at a time, it is too confusing. One simple question at a time seems to get
a better answer from most helpers. Sometime I am looking for a general
direction. Sometime I am looking for a specific answer to a particular
problem.

2. RE: "Or, do mean something which the user can download to their machine
and then

continue to work on? Maybe something like an Excel spreadsheet? If so,
then I would use this:

THIS is what I have been saying. But I don't want to buy a 3rd party
package that may or may not work and puts another possibility for problems
in the mix, as well as a learning curve. SURELY THERE IS A POSSIBILITY.

3. I have asked our hosting service to address the problem of not having
ASP.net 2.0. Meanwhile, I have to work with the limitations. I don't make
the decision of which hosting service to use.

4. I read the Welcome to the ASP.NET FAQ. I quote from there: "Please treat
all participants with respect, valuing divergent views and contrary
opinions.Be polite."

I hope you will continue to share your knowledge. I will try to be more
specific when I can.

Thank you.
