@ulu,

Check out jQuery UI. Telerik has an MVC grid now too. I’ve used jqGrid quite a bit too.

I would object to one point (although I do love MVC): most 3rd party grids (I use telerik) already have the code necessary for handling button actions, AJAX calls etc. In fact, I don’t have any codebehind for 90% of my controls and pages. This is until you want to modify the common behavior, of course. So, separating HTML and code is good, but you can’t package them into a reusable component anymore.

Hi Jon,

Would it be possible to write a blog post about a simpler version of the JQueryGrid?

Interested in the loaddatafromurl part..

@Eric,

Sorry, Html.JQueryGrid is something in my current project, but it’s not open source (right now, at least).

Jon,

Is there an extention method for Html.JQueryGrid publicly available?

@Tim -

Yep; MVP would solve these problems also. The advantages a new MVC project gives over MVP is that the convention is baked in, required even. If there was a new “MVP Project” in visual studio that would go a long way in creating clean code.

Jon,

I love to bag on web forms as much as the next guy, but you can thin down the code behind by moving to the MVP pattern. In essence, you end up building up your page model in a testable class in the presentation layer and then binding it to the Presenter, which is the code behind. It’s not perfect, there’s still a lot of UI logic contained in the code behind that is extremely difficult to test. It will lead to some more repeatability, though. As good as what I think is in MVC? No, but possible.
