Hello, I'm not sure if I'm posting this on the right thread but I'm having difficulty doing this:

I'm trying to create a page that will pull out information from a table in a SQL database server.  Also, I need the same GUI that will allow the user to update a record from the database.

Is there a FREE ready made module that does this job?  I've done this in Coldfusion and it was really easy.  Why is it a little hard in DNN?

Please help me.  Thanks.

Hi Jer0n,

this is not the right forum. The UserDefinedTable allows you to define a table without any Sql-knowledge, you are able to edit and view the data. It doesn't connect to a real database table.

I've never used Coldfusion, but I think it is unfair to compare it to DNN. DNN is extensible; you will find modules, some  FREE, some not (www.snowcovered.com). If you can't find a suitable module, write your own. If you just want to solve your own issue without any reselling background writing a module is as easy as writing an usercontrol in asp.net. DNN together with Visual Web Developer Express Edition is certainly a most powerful, most flexibel and totally free framework to do every kind of jobs.

I don't know whether there is any FREE ready made module that does that job. Writing an own module, especialy using DNN 4.x/ ASP.NET2 using the new GridView Controls and SqlDatasources should be done im minutes.

Hi Jer0n,

this is (currently - as who knows about the future?) not the purpose of UDT. you might find  AdvancedDataGrid from Efficion Consulting or SQLGridSelectedView from Paul Scarlett suiting your needs.

Thank you very much guys.  It really helped me a lot.  But I like SQLGridSelectedView better than AdvancedDataGrid coz it has more functionalities in it.  Too bad with SQLGridSelectedView though is that it doesn't have the source codes included.  Why????  How can I edit the code without the source.  I'm very new with DNN -- I didn't realize that the source isn't included in some packages.
