ComponentOne GridView for ASP.NET AJAX: GridView for ASP.NET AJAX Task-Based Help

GridView for ASP.NET AJAX Task-Based Help

The task-based help assumes that you are familiar with programming in Visual Studio .NET, know what a DataSet is, and know how to use bound controls in general. By following the steps outlined in the help, you will be able to create projects demonstrating a variety of C1GridView features and get a good sense of what C1GridView can do.

The help uses the standard Northwind Access database, Nwind.mdb, for bound data, which is installed by default in the ComponentOne Samples\Common folder in your MyDocuments folder (Documents in Vista). The database is referred to by filename instead of the full pathname for the sake of brevity.

Note: Depending on where you store the projects and database files, you may need to change the location of the Nwind.mdb reference in the projects.

Each task-based help topic also assumes that you have created a new ASP.NET project, have placed a bound C1GridView control on the form, and have used the Imports (Visual Basic) or using (C#) statement for the C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1GridView namespace and relevant System namespaces. For additional information, see Creating an AJAX-Enabled ASP.NET Project, Binding the Grid to a Data Source, and Namespaces.

Note: GridView for ASP.NET AJAX requires Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX Extensions installed and a ScriptManager on the page before the C1GridView control is placed on the page. You must create an ASP.NET AJAX-Enabled Project so that the ScriptManager and Microsoft AJAX Extensions are included on the page. For more information, see Creating an AJAX-Enabled ASP.NET Project. For more information about Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX Extensions, see http://ajax.asp.net/. For information about the ScriptManager, see MSDN.
