Data-bound Grid Sample

See Also      Tasks

This sample shows how to use the Grid design-time control to display data, hide and show the grid, and call other methods exposed by the Grid control.

Behind the Scenes

This sample uses one file: Grid.asp. This file uses two major design-time controls.

The Recordset design-time control is used to connect to the Products table in the Gallery database.

The Grid design-time control is bound to the recordset to display all the records in the table.

There are four buttons on the screen that call some of the available methods exposed by the Grid control.

• The first button calls the hide method so that the grid is no longer visible.
  
  
• The second button calls the show method to make the grid visible again.
  
  
• The third button calls the isVisible method and generates an alert box telling the user if the grid is visible or not.
  
  
• The last button calls the bindAllColumns method that will display every column of the grid if they are not all displayed.
