I would like to have a look at evaluating hierarchical grid but noticed some of the examples use ASP.NET, such as editing data set, data set binding and load on demand.

i would prefer not to use ASP.NET, is this possible?

thanks,

Simon

Hi there,

It really doesn't matter what your back end is. The Ignite UI controls work with data in JSON format, so as long as your back end returns data in JSON format Ignite UI controls can consume it! Ignite UI is in no way limited to ASP.NET.

Thank you for using the Infragistics forums!

Simon,

I might have already found this but still:

http://igniteui.com/grid/json-binding.

So, if you have your data in MySQL you would need a way to send the data to the grid (the client).

An approach I very much like is using MVC with WebAPI. But you can use whatever you find suitable, a service maybe.

Bottom-line, you would need to send the data, serialized as JSON to the client so the grid can use it for its data source.

Did I misunderstood you, or do you have any other questions?

Thanks for the reply, ASP.NET is something I dont really know much about.

I was hoping to use the hierarchical grid with JSON data, initially using PHP/MySQL on the server. This would just be for a prototype so later moving onto something a bit more scalable such as using Tomcat to handle the server side processing.

Thanks,

Simon

Hello Simon and welcome to our forum!

You could use IgniteUI for this - our jQuery tool set.

For the samples you mentioned, I guess that they are the following:

http://igniteui.com/hierarchical-grid/dataset-binding

http://igniteui.com/hierarchical-grid/editing-dataset

http://igniteui.com/hierarchical-grid/load-on-demand

So I guess that you don't really want to use MVC.

But if you use plain HTML pages, without any ASP.NET WebForms or the MVC pattern, how are you going to use the Microsoft .NET dataset types?

You can do the above with JSON data only, and I will be glad if you can provide some more details so I can answer more specifically.
