> Hi Fabinao,

> From your description, you'd like to build a master detailed databind
> asp.net webform page. In the page you use a DataGrid to display the main

cleared

> As for this problem, here are my suggestions:
> 1. Retrieved the master-detailed datas from the databse when the web form
> page is first time loaded(using DataSet). Then store them in some place
for
> later use, maybe in Session or ViewState.
>
> 2. Then bind the master table's records with the DataGrid control, note
you
> need to provide a button column in the datagrid which is used to let the
> user select a certain row of record. When first time loaded, bind those
> textboxes or dropdownlist's value with the first record's detailed value.

> 3. Then when a certain record's row's button is clicked, in the
> serverside's click event(datagrid's itemcommand event) retrieve the
certain
> selected record's datas and fill them in the textboxes or
dropdownlists....

> 4. If you want to provide insert function, you can add a "Add" button and
> in its "click" event, you can use code to clear all the textboxes or other
> fields' value and let the user to input new record's value. And then after
> user click submit, in the submit button's click event, insert the new
> record and update the local dataset.
