Editable DataGrid Overview
To all those patiently waiting for Inline Editing, I'd like to apologize for the extensive delay and the complete lack of communication... unfortunately, client work takes precedence and I've had a consistently full plate for several months now... I do want to give you a brief update on where things are...

Many moons ago, a wonderful chap named Richard Thurgood took some of the concepts from ADG and wrote a basic DNN DataGrid module that included inline editing and sent it to me to integrate into ADG... then another lovely fellow named George Paterson took Richard's work and integrated it into the then current version of the ADG... and it works! But it's a bit difficult to use and has some rather severe limitations. I feared releasing it at that stage would become a support nightmare and so instead, I wanted to improve it some and then release it...
Problem is, in thinking through the proper solution, I've realized it is no easy task and I've been so busy with client work since then that I've really only been able to make rather quick and easy improvements to my modules, or, add features that my clients pay me to add and give me rights to share.
The good news here, is that I have due early next week, an Editable version of the Advanced DataGrid, and I have negotiated it with my client such that I will retain full ownership of the code (which I will continue to offer as Open Source). This version will not include inline editing but instead will use a separate edit page. I anticipate the work done in creating the separate edit page will prove very useful for the implementing inline editing.
I'm more than happy to accept help with any aspect of any of my modules. If you'd like to see the original inline editing grid (from Richard and George's work) You can download the source of the outdated Editable version from the Download section to the left.
