To Datagrid or Not To Datagrid???

[byrne1]

I hope to challenge you on this one. I'm creating a time entry system where I want to display a grid (whether it be a datagrid or HTML table or whatever) showing assigned tasks in the first column and then additional columns for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc. I want the user to have the ability to edit any of the cell values (except the first column) so that they may enter or change time worked on a project for the given week.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Your thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated!!

I did a similar project where I had a datagrid showing the presence in a room within the week.
The datagrid is your way to go and for the days use a bit solution

field: daysofweek
datatype: int

monday 1
tuesday 2
wednesday 4
thursday 8
friday 16
saturday 32
sunday 64

therefore if you need to update a selection for monday, thursday and friday you would add the values: 1 8 and 16 to give you your bit value of 25.
Then you can use the logic operator to make the changes and to check if a bit is selected.

I hope I have pushed you towards the right direction.
