Save Changes
This example showcases the ability to edit the cells of a master/detail Grid similar to an Excel spreadsheet. To edit a cell simply click it with the mouse. When clicking the "Save Changes" button all the changes from the master and from the details are saved into the database at once.

For the source code please check the "aspnet_master_detail_excel_style.aspx" sample from the Grid folder in the Suite.

"We have purchased the obout suite of controls and have used it in our web apps. It has worked great in many apps giving them a great look and feel and extremely versatile."
