Building a Generic Page to Provide Maximum Data Viewing Capability on the Client

In this article, author Leonid Sheinfeld demonstrates how to build a generic ASP page that gives users near unlimited ability to navigate through recordsets on the client side. Focusing primarily on XML with XSL transformation on the client side, Sheinfeld introduces an advantageous design that gives the page a high degree of reusability while limiting the load on the web server. The application you'll be introduced to supports numerous client--side operations, including paging by any number of records, sorting any data type, searching for particular values in the recordset, and displaying the original recordset at any time.
