Understanding Heat Database

Build Relevant SQL to Heat System Identifiy fields we need

DEMO SQL BUILD

Demo HEAT control datagrid Change HelloWorld to hook Database in. Add Datagrid 1.Use default columns that are auto bound 2.Modify Datagrid properties to look nice. 3.Add Paging in.

Demo 2 HEAT control datagrid Remove AutoColumns Add BoundColumns Add Templated Column Add Show Closed Change procedure to allow show closed method

Important Notes When doing Paging with larger result sets. You would have the database handle the paging verses the control. Many other controls Templated columns are used quite frequently To build more complicated things you must define a function to call from a column. In DotNetNuke the call is easier than shown.

Things You Learned Created a Stored Procedure Built a User Control for DotNetNuke Learned use of Databound Control Learned to build an interface to a stored procedure Learned simple paging
