I am new to VS.NET 2005.

My requirement is to display rows of data in a Gridview and I should be able to do bulk editing in Gridview. If it is possible what is the easiest way to do it. I searched in the net and came to know that we need to write a custom control to do bulk editing.

Whether it is possible to generate columns as per settings in a config file.

My requirement is mentioned below:

I need to mention the columns of a table in a config file or xml file. I also need to mention the details of the columns in the table whether it can be edited in Gridview. Whether it is possible to generate and edit columns in Gridview dynamically.

For Ex:-
In a config file I mention the following details
saying that Col1 is visible=true and editable=true
Col1 editable=true.
Col2 editable=false.

So in the gridview in the edit mode Col1 should be editable but the Col2 should not be editable.

Whether this can be done in this new control.

We need to generate the colums dynamically.

Please anyone help me with sample code as I need it urgently.

Please help asap,


Thanks and Regards,
