Data Entry ASP.NET Forms
Okay, stupid question time.
My company wants me to convert a "data entry" system for their clients. How mundane! EXCEL spreadsheets as an input device?
I want to create a data entry page (14 fields) that can be multiple entries per page....
The page will constitute what is in the Excel columns. (Name, ID, other normal stuff).
Key is, I don't want to have the user, entering and submitting each new record.
In thought, I equate this with the ability in Linked-In to enter multiple skills, in a sense. Only more fields?
Make sense? Other team-mates don't want to upset the client base and let them use
the Excel spreadsheet. Allow them to upload it, and read it to fill the database. What a waste in my mind?
Any suggestions?

THAT is exactly what I want.... The plus symbol would allow them to create more entries until they are done...
can validation on the entered line be done one the fly, to let them know immediately. I am assuming that asp.net validators (required, expression for data entry limitations) could be used.
Now to find a copy. I have really only done gridview using displayed data from tables, not for entering things.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You want the users to add multiple entires to database at one Submit.
Add a Customised GridView in the form with 2 Buttons. Button 1 is a "+" symbol and 2 is a "Submit". On clicking the + button, Add data-rows to the DataGridView dynamically. Do not save it to DB until users clicks Submit button. Once Submit is clicked, read the data-rows from the GridView and save it to the DB.
Will try to give you an image for reference.
