Hello Friends, Someone told me that FlexGrid is more beneficial than gridview. Is it really true? If this is true then where can I get it? Please help me
"beneficial" would depend upon what use and how much data you have that you want to show in it. FlexGrid/ (Another Jquery plugin that I used is DataTables) are good which all the look and feel but if you have a lot of data, you would need a play around a bit with pagination. If you have small amount of data, and do not require pagination, these plugins have nice look and feel. Pretty sorting/filtering options as well. But if you have a large amount of data, say more than 200 records and all, first these plugins load all the content on page and then jquery converts the table into paginated table. A better approach would be to get small chunks of data and on clicking next/previous button, make AJAX calls and get another desired chunk of data. A simple google search would have located this plugin for you : Flexigrid : http://flexigrid.info/ Datatable : http://www.datatables.net/. These sites also have an neat tutorial about how to apply these filters. These use static HTML for example purposes. If you have data coming in from DB, I suggest, use a repeater and make HTML with same structure as provided in these examples on these sites. Hope it helps
