Cheers Woric... that's given me a bit more confidence. I didn't post any sample pages though, may have been an example by someone else replying to me earlier.


As you say, the code is at the mercy of another, thus I can't vouch on their willingness to recode about 50-75 pages (on top of their already busy schedule)... here's to hoping!

Hi Martin,

the page you posted with the sample datagrid is auto-generated. It also
looks like your developers had spent at least 30 seconds writing the page.
(Click on datagrid component, drop on page, specify table, save page. Thats
it, no kidding.)


It is not hard to replace the auto-generated datagrid code with templated
code which can be written as valid html, but this does require a rudimentary
knowledge of ASP.NET, which the developers may not have.


Tell them to go and read about templating in MSDN. It has many examples of
how to use custom html for the datagrid.


But be warned, it will take longer than 30 seconds to write the page.
Probably 3 or 4 minutes, or if they are really untalented, 30 or 40 minutes.


Good luck.
