Hello,

I've been looking for a data grid component for DNN which allows users to maintain data in a grid view tied to their userid.

I'm looking for something which can sort, sum, inline edit, add and remove columns from the view, handle paging, print all or print current page data, save data, enable combo boxes as fields, checkboxes as fields etc. I'm looking for a gridview/edit using one inteface meaining view and edit are one in the same in terms of the UI - much like excel.

I've been looking at EXT JS http://extjs.com/products/extjs/

Which seems to handle all my requirements and am wondering if anyone has played with integrating it with DotNetNuke. It appears that the data is all xml based and so I'm not sure how well that will scale.

Anyone have tips from experience with integrating?

I've also looked at SQLGridSelectedView from http://www.tressleworks.ca/ - this is a pretty cool DNN module but I'm not sure it will work for my needs as I need inline editing and the ability for the user to add columns as well as have the data tied to the current userid. There may be a way to do this with SQLGridSelectedView.

Regards,

Patrick

If you're doing module development, I would suggest using the telerik radGrid.  It does come with a price tag, but it can handle pretty much anything you throw at it, has AJAX support, and when you subscribe to their products, you get top notch support.  I have yet to have better support from any other component vendor.  There have been many instances where I asked about how to do something, and I handed them an example code snippet.  Their support team rewrites the code for you!  Additionally, their licensing model is very lenient, allowing you to distribute thier DLLs with your products.

Patrick,

Thanks for the good words about SQLGridSelectedView.  You are correct, the primary focus of SQLGridSelectedView is the generation of a Grid.  I implemented record update a limited feature that some take advantage of -- primarily in intranet sites that support other applications. 

Good luck!
Paul.
