Scrollable GridView with Fixed Headers using jQuery Plugin

Using the same example I have created a jQuery Plugin for Scrollable GridView with Fixed header so that you can directly make a GridView scrollable.   HTML Markup < form   id ="form1"   runat ="server"> < asp : GridView   ID ="GridView1"   runat ="server"   AutoGenerateColumns   =   "false"> < Columns > < asp : BoundField   DataField   =   "ContactName"   HeaderText   =   "Contact Name"   /> < asp : BoundField   DataField   =   "City"   HeaderText   =   "City"   /> < asp : BoundField   DataField   =   "Country"   HeaderText   =   "Country"   /> Columns > asp : GridView > form >   Applying the Scrollable Grid jQuery Plugin < script   src ="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"   type ="text/javascript"> script > < script   src ="Scripts/Scro...

GRIDVIEW GROUPING

When displaying data, we sometimes would like to group data for better user experience or when displaying long list of hierarchal data, we would want to display them in a tree view kind of structure. There is more than way of doing this, but I am going to explain achieving this functionality using  AJAX Collapsible Panel Extender Control . Overview: I am going to use  Adventure Works  as datasource. Every product in  Production.Product  table belongs to a product sub category.

COMMAND OBJECT  Command object is the biggest object in ADO.NET  It is the only object which can perform actions with database  It  can be created directly using Command class or can be created using Connection.Create command (factory classes also contain creation of Command). Ex:  SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection("......");    SqlCommand sqlCmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand();  Commands that we run depend upon the kind of query that we want to execute with database. All databases support two types of queries. i. Action Queries ii. Non-action Queries Action queries are those which change the state of database and which don‟t return any query results(though they return the number of records affected). Ex: Insert, Delete and Update statements Non-action queries are those which don‟t affect the database but return the results to the user. Ex: Select statement Method of execution of queries: Command object provides the following methods to execute queries: 1. Ex...
