Since Microsoft introduced .NET and it's Web Forms technology, developers can now build applications with the same interactivity of a standard Windows application using HTML page. The .NET Framework includes a full set of Web Controls including the web DataGrid, the web version of the well-known Windows Forms DataGrid. This control is probably the most interesting in the framework. Many component developers innovate by creating their own DataGrid controls or providing enhancements to existing ones. Active Up decided to bring something new. A powerful paging system for your DataGrids. The DataGrid integration page will show you why ActivePager is the easiest and quickest method to add a powerful paging system to your DataGrids. Only one line of code is required! While DataGrids are very powerful, they don't provide templating flexibility most website designs require. So a lot of developers use the DataList or Repeater web controls to display their data. The DataList, Repeater or others databindable List Controls don't include any paging logic. Many tutorials (most of them are very good) are available on the Internet. Active Up decided to bring something new: a reusable control that encapsulates all the paging code and logic. http://help.activeup.com/activewebcontrols/DataList_&_Repeater_integration.htm" target="_blank">The DataList integration page will show you why ActivePager is the only solution to add powerful paging systems in your DataLists. This solution also demonstrates how to retrieve the active page data in the database instead of retrieving the whole table and then selecting the data to display. Imagine thousands of users retrieving the whole table each time they click on next! This is why this method is the only reliable for professional websites. Use the DataGrid integration only for quick projects. |
