Jackson.... as professional programmer who exclusively does .NET, allow me to tell you that getting into jQuery changes *everything*.... .NET's built in controls and jQuery (or any AJAX library in general minus MS Ajax or whatever they call it nowadays) do not play nicely together...
in the case of thinking "ASP.NET GridView + jQuery pagination, sorting, etc", it is much better in many ways to think instead: "use ASP.NET and SQL Server to do the actual paging/sorting and feed that resultant data into something like jqGrid" At this point in my programming career, which just entered year # 10, I barely do anything with <asp:> controls anymore, ASP.NET is simply the tunnel I use between my client script and the data.... But this is just my personal experience.... your mileage may vary On Jan 8, 10:12 am, Mike Alsup <mal...@gmail.com> wrote: > > take a look at jqGrid > > >http://www.trirand.com/blog/ > > jqGrid rocks!!
