Re: Data Controls Suck: No Vertical Layout?

FYI -- I am now discovering the joys of the 3.5 ListView control which apparently was specifically developed to support complete control of data presentation and NURD processes.

Jees, it really seems to be non-existent to find controls in the framework or documentation or hacks that will help me get an editable grid or editable datalist in vertical format. Isn't there somebody who has done this that can help me out?

I want and need two columns, the left is a LinkButton with text property that has the name of the database field (column) and the right the TextBox that contains the data in from the database that CRUD can then function with.

When the LinkButton in the left column is clicked the TextBox in the right column becomes active and there are linked Update and Cancel links to the right side of the TextBox so each field in the database can be edited just like we see in editable DataList and GridView controls: ONLY VERTICAL ORIENTATION!

WTF? I'll do all the work but could use some pointers or whatever comes along with code examples or documents as I have to think others have done this already and figured out how to do it.

Label = Editable List/Grid LinkButton
