I'm building a purchase order webform - multiple line items, anywhere from 1 to N. The client *will not* accept round trips to the server for each line item.
In ASP I would have a loop in the page to create the rows for data entry (textboxes, checkboxes, dropdowns) and use javascript to add additional rows as necessary. I'm simply hitting brick walls on how to do this in ASP.Net. Server-side controls can't have the same name, so any server-side control is out. As far as I can tell the grid only allows editing one row at a time, so that's out. And I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to put plain old code in a display page to loop display elements (I'm looking at the repeater now, unsure if this will work). Then I'm thinking the code to parse this stuff is going to be just as hard. Is there a "best practices" way for allowing the user to insert multiple rows on a single page, order-form style?
