Hi I am new to ajax and this is an urgent requirement . I have a parent gridview with a select button and when the select button is clicked it opens a child gridview wherein I can modify a few records and then update the corresponding row in the parent gridview. I am not sure how to proceed with this functionality.

can somebody let me know at the earliest??

thanks

if you are using asp.net ajax you can use ModalPopupExtender to show the child grid and update button, so onclick of update button you can just rebind the parent grid.

suppose if you are showing child-grid in using window.ShowModalDilaog() then you can use below code to refresh the parent window

function ShowSubContractEstimationPage() {
 window.showModalDialog();
 document.location.href = unescape(document.location.pathname);
 }

Are these two GridView in the same page? If so, you can set an updatepanel to wrap the parent gridview and set the button which is sticking on the child gridview as the trigger. Every button clicking will update the parent gridview.

If they are not in the same page, and the page which contains child gridview is the child page of that, you can use javascript to refresh the parent page.

Page.RegisterStartupScript("refresh", "<script language=javascript>window.opener.location.reload;</script>");
