Introduction

WebInput.NET is designed with rock-solid object model which enables the control to be easily used in both standalone or integrated within Intersoft's WebGrid.NET Enterprise editing environment.

The WebGrid.NET and WebInput.NET are automatically included in WebUI.Studio.NET 2007 R1.

Automated Installation

WebInput.NET which is part of WebUI.Studio.NET 2007 R1 will be automatically included in WebGrid.NET as its predefined Custom Editor so that you do not have to manually add it to your grid's Custom Editor definition.

Integrating WebInput.NET in WebGrid.NET Enterprise

While the installer already performs the core custom editor integration, you can immediately take advantage of the integration in your web applications. Please examine following steps for integrating WebInput.NET into WebGrid.NET:

  1. Suppose you have a WebForm containing WebGrid with Northwind's Products table. Firstly, drop an instance of WebInput from toolbox under the tab group "Intersoft WebUI Studio.NET 2007 R1" to the design surface just as seen in the screenshot below. Named the first instance as WebInput1.
