Generic table editor - asp.net

I have about 40 tables and users should edit data in this tables in browser.
I believe than it's possible to create one page with dropdown, user select table name in this dropdown and get a grid with "Edit" button.
Does anybody know if such possible? Is it ready projects on Codeplex for such task?
Thanks,
asp.net developer

You might want to look into Dynamic Data I have only played around with it a little, and it seems to do something like what you are wanting.

Suggestion on hierarchy visualisation tool (ASP.net)

I have got a set of data that goes by hierarchy. For argument sake, let's say this is the top level:
The user should be able to drill down on one of the boxes to explore the data. When clicked, the user sees the second level of data:
Alternatively, the second level of data can totally cover the first level (but have a breadcrumb that shows the drill down journey):
I am hoping to be able to implement such visualisation tool on ASP.net (i.e. web). Does anyone have a suggestion on a suitable JS / extension plugin?
Thank you kindly.
You can use jsTree jquery plugin. It gives very nice interactive UI in hierarchical level. It provides support like drag & drop support, inline edit, create and delete etc.
You can get it from https://www.jstree.com/. It is easy to use.

Forms vs Tables for editable company profile

I am starting to build an app, using Meteor, that includes user-populated company profiles (including both financial data and text). I will be looking into a datafeed for public company information but much of the information for private companies will be user-populated.
I know I will need to create a form for the user to fill in so that the company information will be captured by the database. However, can I make this same form available to the user to both display the data and to allow them to edit the data in the future? Or do I need to build a separate view using tables for this purpose? My preference is the former, just one screen to create and edit as needed.
Any examples of similar instances would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
This is less of a meteor specific question, rather a general web technology question. Meteor can provide the data in the template of course, and it can offer events to process data and insert/update this to a database. This is the same as any underlying architecture. The question is really how to approach the problem with HTML & JavaScript.
A couple of potential methods:
Write your HTML to display the content in its non-editable form. Then provide an edit button to switch mode. When clicking this button switch on 'contenteditable' for the elements you wish to be edited: http://html5doctor.com/the-contenteditable-attribute/
Also reveal a save button, then process the event through meteor. Use selectors to extract the fields by referencing either designated class names, data attributes or name attributes. It would also be a good idea to alter the appearance of editable elements with a background or outline. The disadvantage here is that it's slightly non-standard and you may have the need for more complex data-types like dropdowns or checkboxes etc.
Create view with a standard form HTML. Style it in a way that shapes the information primarily for display rather than editing, eg. hide form field borders. Provide an edit button that when clicked alters the CSS and reveals form field borders, also reveal/replace elements which need more complex controls like dropdowns, perhaps turn on field labels too and of course a save button. The disadvantage is slightly more complex CSS and JavaScript.

Sharepoint list search with custom styling

I want to make a list-search for sharepoint with custom styling. Could you help me a little with that? I do not know how to start with that, so I need ideas how to handle that.
I want to make this look like:
JSBin JSBin
Questions are:
Do I need a WebPart for that? If yes, Can I do it with 2 WebParts - 1 for search form, one for Results?
If I do not need webPart, how to handle search?
If I do not need WebPart, how to represent results in a like in example?

How to create facebook kind of comment for my blog

I am using C# asp.net. I want to implement a commenting system which is similar to facebook commenting system look & feel. Please give your inputs.
When it comes to storing,retrieving and displaying comments yes asp.net controls come into use.
Other things being done, to accept a comment and display existing ones for that object (may be post) I would do:
1: Retrieve the comments for that object from database. (easiest way is to use SqlDataSource and set Select, Insert and Delete commands)
2: Use ListView control to display the retrieved data . Remember ListView should be customized to fit you need
Other databound controls are also usable. With these rich controls this task should be easy. Play with the templates these controls offer you and you can achieve almost any database related task.
Design and styling are sufficiently supported and still CSS + can be easily integrated.

Using of a data tree in Drupal?

I'd like to create a page on wich one I'll set a data view and/or a datagrid to display some hierarchical information on it. Also, I'd like to have a contextuel menu (right click) on it.
It's my first time I use Drupal. Previously, I was using the toolkit Dojo for creating this menu tree. However, I saw that Dojo is not really supported by Drupal.
Could you help me? Waht is the best solution to create such menu tree/datagrid on Durpal?
Thanks you very much,
Bat
You have to make changes in the theme of your drupal site for data view and/or a datagrid display
For contextual menu visit: http://drupal.org/project/vbo_contextmenu
Cheers!!
