repeater with custom filters in asp.net

I have repeater control in which i am binding data from sql server database, Now i have number of records showing on my page but i want that i can filter my records according to dropdown selected. I need 4-5 dropdowns control thats depend on my need and i don't want my page to refresh while filtering.
Below is the example, this website using checkboxes too but i need only dropdowns...

Give me any idea how to start, i think ajax is the thing i need. Suggest some examples if you have.

Ajax is the right solution.
Personally i suggest you jquerytemplate and ajax call few row code to achive your goal you may find more info here Load JSON data using the dropdown menu and refresh the div area with the new results in a web site
It is a good point to start and you can make more stuff with this logic :) really simple and fluid code :)

I would suggest you to use a client-side framework (so in JavaScript) like AngularJS, BackboneJS or KnockoutJS. They all provide ways to work with collections in JavaScript (like filtering in this case). You won't need Ajax excepted for the first load or if you want to do some paging. And because it's all client-side it will be far more fluid than re-downloading at every criteria change.

Nested Data grid using ASP.Net 1.1 controls

Has anyone worked on creating the Nested Data grids in ASP.Net 1.1?
Outer Grid: I would like to have the rows to be expandable. On click of "+" on each row, I would like the inner data grid to be populated with certain values based on that row.
Also export to excel feature for all of them in the same format.
I'm getting it using jQuery but looking for possible options in ASP.Net 1.1 controls itself.

If you're asking "How can I do this using just ASP.NET 1.1?" the answer is simple: you can't. Nothing remotely like that is built into ASP.NET 1.1, except perhaps in third-party controls (but good luck finding the 1.1 versions at this point.)
On the bright side, however, you won't have to deal with Microsoft Ajax features in 1.1, which means that the page model is more straightforward.
If your jQuery solution is working for you, there's not a strong case to be made for going farther. But if you want something more of a black box, that's reusable and automatically injects the jQuery code, you could subclass the DataGrid and write code to emit javascript code blocks containing your jQuery code.

Is there a ready-made data table view library with paging/filtering/sorting?

I'm building a system in MVC that has a lot of heterogeneous data to be displayed: Customers, logs, etc.
I'm finding that I'm building the same view over and over again in different forms:
Header row (with sorting links)
Filter row (drop-downs, date pickers, etc.)
Data
Paging row
Naturally the abstractor in me is shouting "Build a generic data view factory!", as well it should. However, before I disappear up my own abstracting bottom, has this work already been done elsewhere?
The only option I can currently find is MVCContrib.Grid, which doesn't seem to handle the rendering of filters (although it has allowances for extending the renderer). Is this the only option?

As one may expect a question similar to your has already been done...years ago. So here: grid controls for ASP.NET MVC? you can find a list available data grids, that has been updated in the years. I recommend that you, once and for all, give a look to all of them, so in the furure you may choose the more adequate to your needs. There is no better grid, but each of them has advantages and disadvantages.

Yes, I could recommend this jQuery plugin
http://datatables.net/

My Choice would be between
datatables.net (Already mentioned)
jqGrid (http://www.trirand.net/demoaspnetmvc.aspx)
I've foud the datatables easier to use at first, but finally I've used jqGrid as I've foud it more powerfull.

I've used both KendoUI and jqGrid successfully. jqGrid is a light-weight and less expensive solution if all you are looking for is a grid. One of the things I liked about jqGrid aside from its easy integration with knockout was it's ability to edit data in table cells as well as creating a "edit view" in which the data is edited in a form-type view with labels beside edit widgets.
That said, it sounds like you might be looking for more than a grid, and if so you should also look at using Html helpers to generate the constituant parts (header w/filter, data rows, paging, etc). This would give you ultimate flexibility over where the different parts are rendered on the page. Maybe you want to put the paging controls twice on the page at the top and bottom; maybe you want to put the filtering into a modal dialog box. The ability to simply go:
#Html.FilterControlsFor(Model.PhoneBookUsers)
someplace (or someplaces) on a page and have the helper deal with all of the details is pretty powerful juju.

Flexigrid - nice table plugin, but it is only ui table you should provide appropriative server side processing for selection and filtering data.

KendoUI any day. Theres a ASP.NET wrapper but it's quite expensive. But the jQuery lib is definitly the best out there.

Dropdownlist Checkbox

If you have ever used SQL reporting services, there are some dropdown lists that pop down with a checkbox list in it. It allows a user to select multi items very nicely. Does anyone know a free User control or an example of this implemented. Ok, so I know I can do this with some elbow grease and html, was just trying to see if there was already something out there. I’m using ASP.NET C#.
Thanks,
Joe

textbox autocomplete

how do i make an autocomplete textbox in asp?
but i need to get the autocomplete data by querying the database.
I dont really know how to explain this, sory if theres not enough detail.
i cant use ajax, because i think i will have compability issues with my old app.
so im thinking of doing this using java script. or is there a way to do this by using .net?
im using C# for codebehind. thanks

It's going to be a lot of effort without using some third party autocomplete I think - not sure what you mean by 'I can't use ajax', but how about using the ASP.NET AJAX autocomplete control, setting the ServiceMethod property to a static Page Method in your code behind? That keeps it contained within your page at least.
The Page Method can go off to your database, and return a String[] of results.
If you decide to use it, you'll need to set the EnablePageMethods property to true in the <asp:ScriptManager> control.

AJAX is JavaScript. It's JavaScript using the XMLHttpRequest object to make the asynchronous request. Here's an article about it and ASP.NET.
If you want to know more about AJAX, (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), I'd check out Wikipedia first. If you want books on it, there are a ton. I recommend Programming ASP.NET AJAX by Christian Wenz (O'Reilly And Associates).

if you dont want to uses ajax library, try jquery
there are many plugin autocomplete or suggest textbox for jquery
try this one

The ASP.NET AJAX framework works for ASP.NET 2.0 & above. As such it will not work in Visual Studio 2003 environment.
Anthem.NET is a free, cross-browser AJAX toolkit/framework for the ASP.NET development environment that works with both ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/anthem-dot-net
For your autocomplete requirement, you can consider using the jQuery Autocomplete Plugin
It requires very less programming. Check the demo & code sample here - http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete
It's autocomplete() method takes a URL or array to populate your autocompletion list. You can pass the URL of the page that fetches the results from the database directly.
