This is what I want to do:

on top of the page

Have 1 text box, 2 dropdownboxes

On bottom of the page

Row(s) with Checkboxe(s) next to them... When any checkbox is clicked..a textbox, maybe placeholder with textbox on it (possible?) opens under that row with more info...

Any ideas/examples to do this? should I put all this on a datalist and bind it to datagrid? Should I just not use a datalist/datagrid and just drag and drop textboxes/checkboxes and do a SQL to populate the fields?

Thanks
 
This sounds like something similar to MS Access table view where you can expand a row to show linked rows in another table. Is that close to what you are looking for?

I would suggest that because the expanded area can be of varying size, check out the repeater control. Maybe that will work good as you can put many controls within it and bind to data.

I cant do the same with datalist?

Put textboxes, dropdownbox, the "expandable" checkbox...

user should be able to update the fields as well ....
