I need to create a way for users to 'bulk edit' data in a datagrid, for example changing the AssignedTo value of every row in the datagrid (or at least every row where a checkbox is checked) at once. Here is how I was hoping to do it but I am not sure how.
The user has a grid full of data.
The first column is checkboxes.
The user checks the rows he wants to update
In the first row there would be a field that would correspond to the data in that column. For example there is an AssignedTo column. At the top of that column would be a combobox which the user would choose a name from and then hit a button and it would update all of the rows that were checked. If I can't put the edit controls in the first row of the grid I would be happy to put them outside of the grid as well.
I haven't found any examples of this. Could someone let me know if this is feasible and how I might go about it.
Thanks,
Blake
