Update a Cell with Ajax

[Administrator]

Hello

Is it possible to update only some cells with Ajax on your grid ?

John,

All our controls are Ajax enabled in our upcoming 4.0 version. However, there is no built-in support update just a cell''s content using Ajax.

However there are some alternatives. You could work with one of the 2 grid controls available in 4.0:

1) Display only Cell-Oriented Grid Control: With this control you can create a grid with highly customizable look and feel. The grid will then get rendered as a bitmap on the client. Then using the AutoRefresh option in the grid control, you could update the grid displayed to the user. You could even highlight the cells whose values have changed. We have a sample that demonstrates the above logic here:

http://websamples.syncfusion.com:8811/2.0/samples.aspx

Go to Grid.Web/StockQuotes sample.

The above site is a preview of our 4.0 beta, so there might be some quirks involved.

2) GroupingGridControl: Using this control lets you bind any relational DataSource to the grid and create a highly customizable look and feel. The rendered grid is also fully user interactable.

Using this control in conjunction with a CallbackMultiplxer, you could retrieve pure data from the server using AJAX callbacks and update the appropriate record by parsing through the grid model in the DOM using JavaScript.

I once used to program with Syncfusion Grid.
I was amazed by the quality of support of Clay Buch.

It looks like this is not the case for this grid.
This is very disappointing as it is impossible to base a serious developement on a poor supported software.

Hi John

Sorry for the inconveneince caused.

1. The link is up and running. Have you tried hitting it recently? Note that it is an internal link which gets updated every day as we continue testing and getting ready for the 4.0 release.

2. The ASP.NET release will be out a week or so after the 4.0 release of the Windows Forms products. We are very close to getting a beta version of Windows Forms products out and I will update this post as soon we have more information on the exact dates.

Once again, we are sorry for inconvenience caused.

Regards
Arun
