Creating a Customized Sorting User Interface:
Step 1-Creating a Standard, Sortable GridView
In this VIDEO TUTORIAL and its upcoming steps, we will learn on how to create a customizable data display in a GridView control by grouping rows belonging into a particular category. The need for customized sorting interface arises due to various reasons. Let us say, we have 100 products in a Beverages category and only 10 products per page are shown at a time, in this scenario, the end user may NOT know, how many more products do exists on other pages in Beverages category and when products from other categories would show up in the display. Under these circumstances, it becomes necessary to have separator rows between categories during the product display in a GridView control on a web page. In this Step 1, a demonstration is made on how to create a standard GridView control that displays product information from the Products table in the database and also has a paging and sorting interface at run time display of CustomSortingUI.aspx. This initial display is necessary to explore on various techniques of injecting separator rows in the upcoming step of this video tutorial.
