Hi all,
I have question(s). What is the best practice in ASP.NET (2.0) to pick a value from a huge list? What is the best implementation for this?
Say, I have a Customer table and a Transaction Header table. If I have 10000 customer records, it will not be a good idea to populate a dropdownlist with 10000 records when entering a transaction. Am I right? I'm thinking of having a button beside a "Customer Code" textbox. So when it is clicked, it will then populate a list for me to pick a value. Otherwise, user just input the customer code into the textbox. Then, for both method, system will show a few detail of information for the entered/selected code for the sake of confirmation. Is this a good practice? A sample tutorial or code will help a lot.
