Hi all. I'm facing the issue of providing the user of my applications with easy-to-use search forms. In my mind, a search form is structured as a grid whose columns are the "most important properties" of an entity, those to be searched in.
Without NHibernate I created a function implementing the "Search Service", this way: int ok = Search(Connection, TableName, VisibleFieldsList, IndexFieldName, SortedFieldName, WinCaption, ref IndexValue); The function shows a grid directly bound to a DBSource and populated with data retrieved by an sql statement, dynamically created starting from Search() input data. The user, while searching for a row, can re- sort records, filter by any column, etc... interacting with the grid (so triggering changes in the original sql statement --- expecially the where condition and the order-by clause). Though strongly bound to all-the-DB-stuff, this approach has the great advantage of allowing an easy search on virtually any table in my DB, without developing anything. Is there some cots component implementing the NHibernate counterpart for such a search form? If not, how do you approach this problem in your applications? Thanx a lot, Marcello. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nhusers" group.
