VB.NET DataGrid / Record Forms

[Jordan Marton]

Two questions here.

1) Is it possible to make a vertically setup datagrid. Basically, i am
populating the grid with only information from one record, and I want it to
list downwards as opposed to across. Is this possible?

2) Is there an easy way/template/function in VisualBasic.Net that will
automatically create an insert/update form for a record in a database?
perhpas a modified Datagrid with TextBoxes instead of labels. Is this
possible to do?

THanks
Jordan

Jordan,

You would be better off using the DataList or Repeater control. They are
more appropriate for this type of display. I would probably use the datalist
myself.

2) Is there an easy way/template/function in VisualBasic.Net that will
automatically create an insert/update form for a record in a database?

Yes! While in your web project go to the menu and click "File-Add New Item"
then in the template area (on the right) of the window that opens choose the
"Data Form Wizard"
