Please note: This code sample was created and tested using Ext.NET 2.0 Beta 1.
A slightly more comples example with command button to insert, edit and delete rows, taken from Gridpanel -> Saving Variations -> Httphandler
The NorthwindDataContext and other needed classes can be fetched from the download section at Ext.NET: http://www.ext.net/download/
Add a new project (Ext.Net.Examples) to your solution and add the classes you need to the project. Northwind and SerializableEntity can be found in the Code folder
I have created some functions to illustrate how the code can be organized when working in code behind. Columns and type of editor to use should be stored in configuration files or a tables but for this example everything is fixed/hardcoded values
Problem with generic handler
There is a minor problem with generic handler: SuppliersSave
Find this code
// --
StoreResponseData sr = new StoreResponseData()
And replace with this
// --
// We need to intialize the StoreResponseData otherwise an exception is thrown
StoreResponseData sr = new StoreResponseData()
{
Data = JSON.Serialize(string.Empty),
Message = string.Empty,
Success = true,
Total = 0
};
NorthwindDataContext
Also please note that the notwinddatacontext classes has joins between tables and as a consequence a lot of tables is loaded when quering the suppliers table from linq
I deleted the joins in order to test the code below but a less drastic approach is proabably the better
