c# help :: Invisible DataGrid Table Rows?? Beginner

eventz_user

I have written some code (below) and it reads values from image button ToolTips on a floorplan and returns the results accordingly. I'm having a problem though, I don't want to display all the values in the table. I have no idea how to invisiblise these rows.

I presume there is a better way to display the results that will give me more control.



ds = new DataSet();

myda.Fill(ds, "tbl_tablename");

HtmlTableRow trow;

HtmlTableCell tcell;

foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)

{

trow = new HtmlTableRow();

foreach (DataColumn dc in ds.Tables[0].Columns)

{

tcell = new HtmlTableCell();

tcell.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(dr[dc.ColumnName].ToString()));

trow.Cells.Add(tcell);

}

tblItems.Rows.Add(trow);

}

I am a total beginner so sorry in advance....

Is this version 1.1 or 2.0? Either way I'd use data binding to do this. While there are some performance gains to generating the HTML on the fly I doubt it's an issue here.

If it's 1.1 look at DataGrids, if it's 2.0 look at GridViews. These server controls will manage generate the HTML for you and allow you to control what fields are displayed and how.

Thanks Evil Phil. Version 2.0.
Will look into Grid Views. Do you by any chance have a link to some useful article??

Google 'GridView Tutorial asp.net' and you should get loads.
