Hope you can help me in decisions to make for my datagrid design:
I have a pivoted dataset. The rowset I took from the database query has been
pivoted in the codebehind page. This is the data from the system to display,
which I want to make completely editable. I just want a text box in each
cell of the grid, so the user can edit them.
A couple of questions:
1) How do I let the user copy and paste multiple values from and to the
grid? Just like excel...
2) How can I best keep track of the edits the user makes so that when they
save the changes, I can just update the dirty cells?
I know this is a bit vague, since it is mostly a design just now. So far, I
have not added the text boxes to my template columns. I am in the process of
doing that now. I just want to know if the datagrid is actually going to be
able to do what I want it to do. I don't want an "edit column" type
scenario, where there is an edit/delete/etc. buttons. I want it to be more
like excel.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Malik
