(using 2010.3 ASP.net controls in VS2008)

Hi - I'm new to the webdatagrid, and I need to quickly know if it possible to do the following:-

I need to allow my users to add entries into a grid. The grid needs 2 columns, the 1st needs to be a lookup (e.g. webdropdown) onto a list of items (possibly up to say 3000 items). They need to choose by the item name but I need to know the item's code behind the scenes.

The 2nd column needs to be a date picker.

I can't find any examples of using the webdatagrid like this.

I would like the user to go to the 1st row (which would be empty), click on the 1st cell and start typing and have it do some server side filtering to bring up matching data). The 2nd column should then allow popup of a date selector.

Once they move off this row it should allow them down to a new row.

Is this possible with your controls?

Can you point me to some relevant sample code?

cheers,

Jonathan
