Datagrid Add Multiple Rows

[Socrates877]

I am building a UI for a timecard database. Users access this database over the internet using something I am yet to write using asp.net.

In access, the UI looked something like:

Job # | Sat | Sun | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri
12503 0 0 1 0 3 1 1
11056 1 0 0 2 0 1 3
etc.
etc.

I want to use a datagrid to mimic this. However, when you want to add a new record to a datagrid, you have to click an add/new button/link, type in your stuff, hit update and wait for a round trip to the server. Overall, that's a big pain in the butte, especially because on average there will be about 15 of these entries.

How can I streamline the process? I want to avoid all the server roundtrips primarily. Not having to click new/update a million times would be a bonus.

Thanks

I've decided to use a datagrid to display the existing entries and have a separate control for adding entries. Seems to work.
