I need a gridview such that when I click on a row to edit it, the data shows in a formview within that row. The user can then make updates within the formview. I am not able to find a suitable example that can do something like this. Can somebody please point me to an appropriate example that does this.
Note that I am using ASP.NET.
Thank you.
Here is an example from Kendo , You can download and use their tools for free with limited support.

I manage a project and as you know asp.net has many types of data control, I am confused which control should be used in what condition. Which is better control in what situation. Should I still use repeater control because grid view is advance control.
A repeater allows you to have your items repeated both horizontally and vertically unlike a GridView which only by default repeat the items vertically.
The best way to understand the two is if you need a simple grid displayed use a gridview.
If you need to do additional formatting or display data from the database with additional graphics, labels, not in a grid type form than use a repeater. You can easily adjust the repeater to by as dynamic as you need it to be where as a grid view is a simple grid.
With a repeater you will click on the page SOURCE of the .Cs or .vb file and you will see 4 templates. Anything HTML you put in those templates will repeat with the data.
Around 2010 I ran into so much trouble with the GridView, I asked a (now former) Microsoft evangelist for advice. He strongly recommended not to use the GridView ever. Then I stopped and life got easier.
I am looking for paging in which I can enter values in a box to reach at desired page something like this.
I googled it. but could not find this. Help me if you have links or code.
I am working on asp.net 4.0.
Thanks
There's no out of the box functionality. To do that, you'd need to override the DataBound event of the gridview and add a custom pager row. This CodeProject tutorial or this article might get you started.
As told by Echilon i used CustomPager and used textbox instead of slider in it.
All, I am creating a web application and I need to give users the ability to add/edit/delete records in a grid type control. I can't use 3rd party controls so I am restricted to just whats in the box for asp.net (datagrid or gridview) or creating my own. Any thoughts on the best direction to go in. I'd like to keep the complexity level at a dull roar :)
thanks in advance

You should definitely use edit and insert templates. All you have to do is give the button/link the command name such as insert/delete/update and you can allow the Grid to do most of all the work.

I think you'll learn to love the gridviews because they are pretty powerful.
Gridviews have different item templates that you can use for editing and inserting data. That'd be an easy way to go about it.
As long as you set your datakeyid property to the primary key in the database, you should be able to make template fields based off of whether or not you're editing or inserting data. The command name of the button you use to fire the event will handle the statements required for updating/inserting data.
This is a good site for some examples.
the out of the box grid is not too bad.
Here are a few links on master detail records in asp.net this should get you started on the CRUD opperations.

How to get started with using GridView in ASP.net?
grid view is pretty slick especially in asp.net. You can check all the gridview tutorials on ASP DATA TUTORIALS.. it is the perfect place to start learning asp.net. If you don't want to learn then you can always add a sql database, insert a grid view and connect it to the data base via a datasource. Then you can play around with it. However i will strongly recommend those tutorials as they contain all tips and tricks you want to know. You can ask more questions here, i will be glad to answer.
And I inherited from the GridView to create the GridViewTree - a multi-column treeview server control. So reviewing this might give you some other ideas.
It can be found here.
Well, I have a few blog posts on the GridView:
Multiple Row Selections with CheckBoxes.
Checking All Rows Using Client-Side Script.
Attaching upload files to a record.
Sort Column Arrow Performance.
How to Work With a GridView Row in JavaScript.
All can be found here.
In VisualStudio, when you drag and drop a table or an individual column from a data connection in server explorer, a gridview is created.
What I want to be able to do is drag and drop the columns to make a quick and dirty detail form to display an individual record. Is this possible in any way?
An even better way to do this would be via a custom T4 or LLBLGen template but I have no clue how to do this.
Any other suggested approaches?
UPDATE: A DetailsView is the type of thing I am looking for, in that you can select a data source and the specific columns you want, but I'd like to be able to have manual control of the layout and formatting after the initial drag and drop.
I suggest binding a DetailsView to the table using a data source (SqlDataSource) instead. You might find these tutorials, especially this one helpful.
In response to your update, have a look at the FormView control. It gives you complete control of the layout using templated sections.
There appears to be literally no way to do this in VS that I have come across.
