Hi,
Can any one help me with this datagrid template column issue?
Any code example will be greatly appreciated.
I am developing an application in ASP.net. (Language Vb.net)
Requirement is to display a radio button column within a data grid.
To get this working so far I have placed a template column with HTML radio button control in the data grid.
(I am using a HTMLINPUT radio button control in the template column, as radio button web control does not work within a grid)
Below is the code for rendering radio button dynamically and group it. The grouping and rendering works fine.
Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.ItemDataBound
        If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then
            Dim lblOpt As label
            lblOpt = e.Item.FindControl("lblOption")
            lblOpt.Text = "<input type=radio name='"& e.Item.Cells(1).Text &"' value=" & e.Item.Cells(2).Text & ">"
        End If
End Sub
I am looking for solution of the following:
1) On post back - based upon radio button selection, I want to update the underlying dataset that binds to the data grid.
2) I want to retain radio button selection on data grid paging.
Thank you all in advance.

This is not true. You can nest web server controls within a datagrid.

Hi ,
I am not sure what do you mean by nesting . Do you have any code example ? With the web control the grouping doesn't work within a grid . Some code will really help me understand how to use radio button web control.
Thanks

There is no need for grouping. Use a Radio Button List control.

Hi ,
My need doesn't suit radio button list. Say there are 10 rows on a grid page then first 3 rows could be from one group and last 7 from other . Please let me know how we can use radio button web control .
Thanks

hi ,
whatz the major diff between windows forms and web forms?
whe do we use windows forms in our project and when do we use webforms in our project.
can u plz expalin clearly to me.

Windows forms are created for a Windows application. That application needs to be distributed to each PC that will run it. Webforms are created on a web server and accesed through a browser either on an intranet or throught the internet. They are 2 differnt project types.
