grid grouping control

[Jay Widman]

I've been using syncfusion windows controls
for years but new to syncfusion asp and web progamming.

The problem is this:

This grid grouping control has found the
sql database( can see column names in designer)
but does not display when web page is executed.
Visable is true.

Also, why would I want to use a grid web
control when I have a grdi grouping control
available.

thanks in advance

Hi Jay,

1. Set the 'HeaderText' property of the Columns to corresponding value in order to display names during the run time.
When you use 'Name' property you can get the names only in the design time.

The below attached sample helps you to achieve your requirement. This sample is created as an 'IIS Application'.

http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/user/uploads/GridSample_8b4be9f6.zip

Before starting working with the sample remove the SqlDataSource in this sample. Make necessary configuration to your SQL server .
Create a SqlDataSource named as SqlDataSource1 using NorthWind.mdb, from the 'Customers' table with the following fields CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle,Address,City,Region and Phone.

2. Grid Web Control is a 'Cell-Oriented Unique Style Architecture'. Using this control renders a bitmap on the client side.
Grid Grouping control binds with the datasource and is applicable when there is a need to manipulate the database.

So for your requirement you have to use Grid Grouping control.

Please let us know if you have any other concerns.
