Ajax Data Grid This article describes how to update the data in ASP.NET 2.0 DataView control through AJAX. The sample is using the data from Products table, Northwind database. The approach is based on using XmlHttpRequest object using which you can send/get any data from/to server using JavaScript. To implement AJAX call you actually need to have two web pages: the one that is visible to the end user and the second one that actually generated the required content for the first web page. The first page calls the second one through XmpHttpRequest implemented in JavaScript.
