Comments on: Bulk Edit Grid View http://blog.nicocrm.com/2007/11/23/bulk-edit-grid-view/ Programming, technology, and CRM - from a Belgian programmer exiled to Missouri Tue, 25 May 2010 15:44:53 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Alex http://blog.nicocrm.com/2007/11/23/bulk-edit-grid-view/comment-page-1/#comment-689 Alex Tue, 25 May 2010 15:44:53 +0000 http://blog.chivinou.net/?p=20#comment-689 Hi, I was looking for a solution to have bulk edit gridview without having it to Inherit from Gridview control directly and your solution seems to fit the profile. Unfortunately I am pretty rusty when it comes to front end development as I have been doing backend work for past 5 years. I have an existing code that I have to modify to implement bulk edit functionality, This code uses a User Control that in itself has a GridView control among other things. Some of the events and methods of this GridView are then overridden in order to implement custom formatting of rows, etc... I'm not sure how to implement your solution in my case. As I understood, the first part of your code is a standard class that inherits from GridView and I should put it in the App_Code folder. Now, the rest is a bit more confusing to me, where do I reference the bulk edit user control, do I replace my existing control with it? In the aspx code in my case where it references the custom use control I cannot see the BulkEditGridViewMixin, how can I reference it properly. I also cannot define the bound fields at the aspx level, as they are created at run time from an sqldatasource for formating and for creation of some hidden fields. Lastly, for the update of the data (push back) I need to utilize a business component/module already in place, so I was planning on Overriding the Grid_OnRowUpdating and canceling the sql's default update command and instead calling my own method to validate and push data back. I know this is a lot of info and probably too confusing to understand, but if you have any suggestions they will be appreciated!
