This is more a 'complaint' than a question, but if anyone has a work around it, please be free to share it.
This is about those VB.NET DataGrids that do everything except the essencial. My project uses a lot of parent/child relationships, like order and order lines kind.
So far (using the order sample), I've got a form with a list of orders, and their detail (client data, payment mode and lines). When I select a order, it's details panel fills automaticlly. To do this, I have a single line of code on the entire form, and a dataset (thats where the trick is). This is perfect. I can do a full complex program using this method on less that a week.
But I have somethig missing: inserting data. This is where the problem starts: If I wanted to fill the order lines by writing the product description and other data, it would be the simplest thing on the whole world. But I want to select the product from a list (combo). And I want to be able to pick the line discount (rebate) form another list, and so on.
Basiclly, what I want is a datagrid with comboboxes, NumericUpDown, and several other controls, like another datagrid inside a cell. I know I can buy grids that accept comboboxes from several component companies, and I've done one myself, but what I want is something a bit more complex: an ASP.NET DataGrid.
The ASP.NET DataGrid allows all this (and much more). Why can't Microsoft find a way of doing this? This is probably not that complex. NetAngel
