Hi Everyone.

I am posting my first tech tip in the 100 series .

It's not new to everyone but regarding our most commonly used display control in Asp.net (Gridview).

We have been using Gridview in majority of cases as for data display.

Here i would suggest a better approach and alternative to conventional Asp.net using Jquery GRID.

Advantages :

1.Default sorting,search,paging by all available columns.very good styling and Ajax enabled with no page refresh updates data.

2.Data transfer using Jason hence lightweight and fast.

3.Simplified DML operations in  GRID for inline Add/Edit as well as Jquery Pop up for the same.

4.Easy integration with asp.net. i had used in already in my earlier application.Made JqGrid as user control and used it across all pages of my application for tabular data display.

For more details you may visit the below link

I am sure this tip would be really helpful in making our Asp.net application faster and stylish.
