datagrid

Export to Excel is one of the most common functionality required in ASP.Net pages.

The idea is that we have a DataGrid which has list of records in a database table. We want to be able to select a row and call up a detail form which will have the corresponding database detail.

The purpose of this article is to give a succinct, understandable overview of how to setup a DataGrid so that you can page through the records of a data source. To demonstrate how this is done, I'm going to take actual code from an application I developed for a large telecommunications company. I use Visual Studio and that is reflected in this article.
