A push in the right direction please?

I would like to have two listboxes filled with sorting criteria, and based upon the two selections in the listbox utilize some ajax functionality to update a gridview on the same page on the fly without any postback. The gridview holds a bunch of printer information with multiple manufacturers. Based upon the manufacturer selected in the list box will cause the gridview sort out the matching values and display the gridview contents without the need for a postback. Keep in mind though that I will be using two listboxes which will determine two search criteria the gridview will utilize. Is it possible to have this done with the current ajax control toolkit? If so does anyone know of any good articles to read that will "push me in the right direction"? Thanks for the help!.

Really, the only thing you'd need the AJAX toolkit for would be to wrap the two list boxes and the gridview in an update panel (or just wrap the gridview in an update panel and set the list boxes as triggers) to hide the postback.

A how to question...

Hi,

Please can someone point me in the right direction...?

Does anyone have any idea what is used to create the chat windows onwww.iloveim.com ?

I am currently working on a project where I want to spawn mutiple independant databaound views on a form dynamically from a gridview control. www.iloveim.com is about as close as I can get to what I am aiming for, but, I have no idea where to start... Does this use multiview? or is it dynamic panels?

Any help greatly appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

Tony

Further to the above. I am also looking at Meebo.

Same principal of spawning [x] new "windows" dynamically.

Again, any help greatly appriciated, even just the name of the control that was used.

I am aware that prgram such as Meebo, ILoveIM and e-messenger are dimly viewed by Microsoft, but, please if anyone can help with what control is used for the dialog box, I'd be very grateful as I have a client that wants this type of appraoch for his system.

He has a gridview populated with tasks, currently, when he wants to view/update a task, the application fires a new browser window. He has seen this approach and wants to fire on of these panels so he can keep the app in a single window.
