Is there any equivalent control in .NET for the Power builder DataWindow control? I am explaining the Datawindow architecture to some extent. Power Builder DataWindow Control has got different presentation styles and different data sources. Presentation styles like tabular format , graph format, grid format, freeform format, Composite format(somthing like report) group format etc. Different styles give the different presentation styles like tabular and grid is equivalent to datagrid control. But other styles like group format For example if we group by city the presentation style would be in this way in the output ( THIS STYLE CAN RETRIEVE COLUMN FROM ANY NUMBER OF TABLE OR ALSO CAN BE A NON RELATIONAL DATABASE DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION) PRESENTATION STYLE FOR GROUP FORMAT STUDNAME COURSE HYDERABAD SSSSSSS MCA DDDDDDDD MBA SGFASFA BCA ADILABAD ASHDAJDFA BSC FFKAGFAFAKF MSC DSJHGSKKFJS PHD PRESENTATION STYLE FOR FREE FORM FORMAT STUID : 101 STUD NAME : SASDAAD COURSE : BSC CITY : ADILABAD we have got the data dource option where we specify which column shouls be retrieved form which table. Data style option where we specify the format ie., presentation style for the datawindow. All the columns names look like labels and columns value look like textboxes of c# And data gets binded form the database Also we have got functions like rowinsert , rowdelete which allows us to insert row or delete row in the database and also they are many other functions 150 functions. Is there any equivalent control in .NET or through which control we can achieve this architecture? Ie., through user controls , custom controls or through datagrid only . Or is there any tool which can convert PB Datawindow control to .NET control. Any suggestion are appreciated Thank you .
