Hi,
I have an asp.net application where I calculate things and show the result
in a datagrid object. The grid needs 21 columns to show all information
needed for persons to understand the whole picture. This in turn gets me into
BIG trouble.
To show a grid with 21 columns and at least 10 pixels text demands a monitor
with at least 1600 * 1200 resolution. Most of my customers have 1024 * 768
resolution, they claime if the had to go further up, they wouldn't sse
anything on the screen. Too small.
So if I could divide the 21 colum grid into two 11 column grids it would be
the ultimate challenge for me, it would resolve all my problems.
Because we don't have much space here I'd like to give you a very tiny
example:
M col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6
1 item 1.1 item 1.2 item 1.3 item 1.4 item 1.5 item 1.6
1 item 2.1 item 2.2 item 2.3 item 2.4 item 2.5 item 2.6
2 item 3.1 item 3.2 item 3.3 item 3.4 item 3.5 item 3.6
The above replace the 21 column grid
Depending on the value in col "M" I'd like the grid to render in the
following
M col1 col2 col3
1 item 1.1 item 1.2 item 1.3
1 item 2.1 item 2.2 item 2.3
col 4 col 5 col 6
2 item 3.1 item 3.2 item 3.3
The above replace the 11 grid when M=1 and when M=2
and this guarantees that an enduser can see everything on his monitor in
1024 * 768 resolution, not to mention a paper report, that on a standing A4
would require 6 pixel text on a landscape and I don't think it would fit with
6 pixels on one page.
I've tried to solve this by doing some drill down thinking after I read an
asp.net article with code where this worked out just nice, the only problem
was it showed related info from another table, as it should.
So, dear readers of this thread. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
I've made a test application just for you, dear readers, on one of my
testsites with my failure drill down report. There you can see how a real
life example with substituted column names shows the problem in a nutshell.
Feel free to ask questions about it.
