Hi,

I have a series of Database tables which hold various fields and details of
how they are calculated.

I take these details and bind them to a Gridview with a Description of each
item and a textbox so the user can input some integer value.

On the server side in my C# code I do some calculations dynamically.

I want to do these dynamically also on the client side in JavaScript. My
questions are as follows:
1 To do this I need to push out my database details of how the fields are
calculated on the client. I get back a collection of ojects in my c# code
where each object has an id and details of the calculation for each field.
How can I stored this on the form so I can get a handle on it in my
JavaScript?
2 I need to be able to get the id from my GridView so I can do my
calculations. I have this in my GridView but I don't want to display this on
the UI so I have set the BoundColumn to be not visible. As a result it does
not get rendered so I cannot get a handle on it.

Any advice on above would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
C.

look at JSON serialization a standard for javascript. there are several
libraries for this, and the MS ajax kit also contains one.
