Master Detail Web Form Challenge

[Gary Brower]

Hi,
I am using VB.Net to create an ASP web form. My goal is to create a
master/detail web form that allows users to create new master and detail
records. For example the form would have header that would have fields for:
Customer XXXXX
CustomerAddress XXXXX
CustomerEtc... XXXXX

Then there would be a data grid that would allow the user to enter order
information.
ItemOrdered QuantityOrdered Price Etc
XXXXX XXXXX XXX XXXXX
XXXXX XXXXX XXX XXXXX

The goal is that the user would enter customer information once, then enter
many lines of order information, then press send to update the master and
detail record at the database.

I thought I could find a quick example and knock this out quick, but after
extensive looking I have not been able to find an answer. If anyone could
tell me how this can be done (either the way I have envisioned or perhaps by
recommending a better way), I would be most appreciative.

Cheers,
Gary Brower

The first article is basically what I am trying to do, except that I need
only one master record (not two data grids) and I need to make the whole
thing editable. For example, the user can enter one master record and many
detail records and save the whole thing in one click.

Thanks for your help.

In the second article, there is a section called "Editing and Inserting
Multiple Rows at Once". Using that concept you can make your datagrid fully
editable. Get back if you want more detail.
