Hi There,

I am building a web application.ASP.NET using C#. I have 1000 candidates
out of which I has to be selected. The way I can present is having a
dropdown list but I think 1000 records in drop down list is a hastle.
Firstly, loading time and then surfing through 1000 records to find the one
you want. Can anyone please suggest the best way of achieving what I want?

Thanks

Vivek
 
Vivek,

As you said that you will be selecting 1 candidate from 1000. I assume that
this selection will be based on some criteria. Why don't you do a search on
that criteria and display a small number. The reason I say this is because
even if you implement a paging datagrid, the user may still have to navigate
through many screens to find the right candidate.

What's even better would be pageable grid with search, eh? Is it
becoming a scope creep? hehe
 
Hayato,

I totally agree. Pageable grid with search. That's the way to go :)

Your signature says, "I code, therefor I am." Damn, what a geek you are!
I love it! I remember saying that last year here in my office... LOL
 
Thanks for your suggestion people .... Is it posible that I have a button on
the form that pops up the aspx page with search. Once I search the
candidate I can then select that and populate the text box on my man form.

Thanks

Nothing is impossible, my friend. If you were to make the popup modal
one, you should make sure to make turn SmartNavigation on for the modal
window aspx page, or you'll see something wierd. When user finish
choosing a user, you can return the value to the parent window by using
returnValue of the popup window.

Good luck!

Why not trying to implement a solution where you dynamically filter
the details on the keys pressed by the user.

Yeah, you can say that ASP .NET is smart, but you also have to be smart
enough to utilize them. I don't mean sarcasm here, but I mean that you
can create crappy application if you don't know enough about it. So try
to imitate as many samples as you can.
