Datagrid and MVC Design

[Jeff]

Hello,

I'm pulling my hair out on this one...

Is it possible to have a Model-View-Controller architecture with a datagrid?

Any thoughts or URLs would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jeff

Which of Model/View/Controller are you assuming a datagrid could be used
for? If View, then the answer is surely Yes.

Hi Radek,

Datagrids are generally bound to a Dataset. Its this binding that is giving
me unwanted coupling between my View/Presentation Layer and my Model/DAL.

I am going to try DataViews to help with this separation.

Thanks, Jeff

Actually, it was a loaded question, and answer. I believe strongly in total
separation of presentation layer from business logic and persistence. I use
virtually none of the out-of-the-box widgets. Have a read of
http://www.asplications.com.au/GenieWhitePaper.pdf for another way of
achieving an MVC architecture in .NET
