Workflow Soluiton

I am trying to allow a user to download a file via an Link to a web service call. The files and their ids exists in a database so I retrieve the document Id and build the string needed to call the web service to open/download the file. The problem is that I want someone to be able to select a row from a list of documents to open/download them. But when using a grid control I can only open the document of a selected grid item onces I've left the form and come back. Since I didn't want to post the form (because it returns automatically to the top and my grid is out of view, and I can't use a grid control inside a dynamica update panel I am a bit preplex on what is the best solution for this problem. Does anyone know how to follow a link from grid linked data?

Stacie,


You could put a dynamic panel below your grid that populates a link with the proper info when a line is selected in the grid. Just make sure you check "post form on value change" in your grid.

I've been playing with the HTML column type in the Grid, and it works pretty well. All you need to have is the URL (with the http:// portion too!) of the file you want to access. This opens the link in a new window and leaves the original grid intact.
