Master/Detail across Two Pages:
Step 2- Displaying the Supplier List in SupplierListMaster.aspx
This step of the VIDEO TUTORIAL (same VIDEO as Step 1 of this tutorial) will familiarize the viewer on how to create and display a Master page scenario with the help of a GridView data web control. A GridView control will display list of suppliers by utilizing an ObjectDataSource control. The ObjectDataSource control in turn will invoke the GetSuppliers() method to retrieve the list of suppliers from our database. In addition, the GridView control display will also be customized to include a hyperlink titled ‘View Products’. When the user clicks on the preceding hyperlink, a ‘SupplierID’ value will be passed to a separate detail page as a query string parameter for displaying the products related to that particular supplier.During this process, an explanation of DataNavigateUrlField and DataNavigateUrlFormat string will also be made to understand on how to pass parameters that is displayed within a GridView control as one of the columns.For detailed information and source code for this step, please refer to the original article.
