While looking for a better way to make column headings fixed while scrolling through a gridview control, I found this really neat control called CoolGridView. It extends and enhances the ASP.Net gridview control. It’s free. You can download CoolGridView here: http://ideasparks.codeplex.com/ Instead of using <div> and style sheets, fixed heading capability is already built-in. It’s the cleanest solution I’ve seen for this problem. I have not had time to explore other features of the CoolGridView. Please share any experiences you’ve had with this control. Bob

These are just a few suggestions that I have found to make coding easier, readability easier for code reviews and upgrades, 1.) Tabbing – Use the tab key when writing code in blocks. For example, you will see below that the declaration of the method is all the way to the left edge of the page. Now the first declaration which is CustTable is 4 spaces to the left (1 tab) which indicates that this declaration of a variable and not part of the declaration above. Moving down to the while select statement, all of the code inside of the while select statement is over another 4 spaces (2 tabs). This indicates to me that this code belongs to the while select statement and will be executed every time the while select query …
