Hi, I'm doing a bit of research before I delve into coding. The problem I have is that I want to retrieve data from a sql database (a single record at a time) and want to display the data on an asp.net webpage. I know I can use either a detailsview or a formview, the way I want to display the data is by using multiple controls, textboxs and a gridview.

What's the best method for the below screenshot.

Thanks for your help.

first of all get one record at a time? that's not a very good practice. you better think of another strategy for that. another thing as you don't have that many fields. you can go with a formview as it will provide more customization than detailview as for my understanding of both components and also based on what you want to implement.

What I'm trying to achieve is display data in an invoice format so one record will be displayed at a time. I won't be querying the database each time the next button is clicked rather a SQL adapter will be used for all SQL stuff.

I'll give formview a go.

Cheers

      When I say I don't see the appeal, I meant as in general, of the character within the story. I guess apart from being a foil, as mentioned, but I still feel it could probably be done a bit more...less on the nose? A bit more nuanced? Something like that. He really just felt more like a chance to cast Fillion more than anything (to me, anyway). Obviously I am aware that Guy Gardner is not exactly meant to be an *appealing* character
    • This excellent 27-inch 1440p 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor is way under $500

      This excellent 27-inch 1440p 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor is way under $500 by Sayan Sen If you are on the hunt for a great gaming monitor that is under $500, then AOC has a great option today that is worth considering. The model in question is the AOC Q27G4ZD which is a 27-inch 240 Hz display based on QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) and it is at just $428 making it lowest ever priced (purchase link under the specs table below). The specialty of QD-OLED is that pairs the self-emissive OLED pixels with a layer of quantum dots, converting blue OLED light into pure red and green wavelengths more efficiently than traditional color filters. The result is brighter highlights, wider color gamut, and higher color volume without sacrificing OLED’s infinite contrast and instant response. Quantum dots are also said to reduce energy loss in color conversion, while boosting luminance and vibrancy. Thanks to the excellent color reproduction alongside the contrast, this QD-OLED monitor can be used for professional photo/video editing, animations, and such as well, plus working on spreadsheets and other office docs should be a breeze too. The technical specifications of the AOC Q27G4ZD are given below: Specification Details Diagonal Screen Size 26.5 " (67.3 cm) Panel Technology Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) Maximum Refresh Rate 240 Hz (DP 1.4) 144 Hz (HDMI 2.0) Response Time (GtG) 0.03 ms (GtG) Brightness (Typ.) 450 cd/m² (10 % APL) Peak Brightness (HDR) 1000 cd/m² (3 % APL) Color Gamuts RGB 100% (CIE1931) / DCI-P3 99% (CIE1976) Color Accuracy Delta E < 2 Display Colors 1.07Billion HDR Certification VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 400 Sync Technology Adaptive-Sync Contrast Ratio 1,500,000:1 (Typical) Color Depth 10-bit Connectivity 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 2 × HDMI 2.0 1 × 3.5 mm Audio Out 4x USB 3.2 Gen1 Ergonomics Height: 130 mm Tilt: –5 ° ~ 23 ° Swivel: –30 ° ~ 30 ° Pivot: –90 ° ~ 90 ° Bezel 3-sided frameless Special Features Flicker-Free, Low Blue Mode, Gaming Modes (FPS/Racing/RTS/Gamer1–3), Shadow Control, Game Color, Dial Point, Sniper Scope, Low Input Lag Get the AOC Q27G4ZD 27" QD-OLED at the link below: AOC Q27G4ZD 27" QD OLED Gaming Monitor, 3-Year Zero-Bright-Dot: $427.69 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      But even when it says local, it is not local, they all send info back. I bet if you unplug your computer from the net, they would not work Not saying that AI can't do useful stuff, just I don't want it pushed onto me all the flipping time
    • Everything you need to know about the end of Windows 10 support

      I know I will get shot down for this, but I prefer Windows 8, take the start screen away and use a third party start menu and Windows 8 was a pretty good OS for Microsoft. It was stable and ran very smoothly on my AMD bulldozer based computer, Windows 10 ran like a dog. When I changed to a Ryzen 7 17090 CPU, I tried to keep Windows 8 on it, but MS made that difficult with pop-ups all the time to get me to change to Windows 10 and the hacks to stop it, did not work that well. I have seen for a few years now the way Windows is going, and I don't like it and with Windows 11, what I saw was happening with Windows 10 have got worse with 11, certainly now with this AI rubbish. When I was looking at updating my PC a couple of years ago, I was looking at what CPUs were available, price and if it was going to make a lot of difference to what I use the machine for. To update my Pc to would have cost me £700 or more, that is just for the CPU, memory and board, maybe get a new case, the GPU is fine for what I use it for. I waited to see what AMD was bringing out and I thought I would look at what Apple was doing with their machines, and they launched the M2 machine at around the same time as AMD launched a new gen version of their Ryzen chip. A Mac mini m2 pro was £1,300, I had saved the money up over 12 months and yes the mini was over £600 more than the parts to update the PC, but it was a complete computer. I had the money, so I thought stick it, let's go for it. I don't regret it, what I do regret is not going for Mac years ago. Saying that Apple used Intel chips and I hate intel. I will have to update the PC at some point, but I will go for a R5 and not R7 and have less memory and a cheaper motherboard as the machine is only used for a few games these days.
