Show off the Demo - Drag Products and Drop into Shopping Cart

Let us create a demo to see how to implement IDragSource and IDropTarget interfaces to customize the Drag & Drop behavior.

The demo application is an online store. Products are listed in the left part of the page while there is also a shopping cart floating on the top right corner.

Figure 2 - The Initial UI of the Online Store

The customer can just simply drag products from the left list and drop into the shopping cart to "buy" it, which makes the user feel as if he were in the supermarket! Cool, isn't it?

Figure 3 - Drag Products and Drop into the Shopping Cart

If the user releases the mouse button in Figure 3, the current product will be added to the shopping cart. Each time the user drags and drops the same product, the quantity of that product will increase by 1. Figure 4 shows the shopping cart after adding a few copies of the books.

Figure 4 - The Shopping Cart with a Few Books

When the user clicks the "Order" button in the shopping cart, client side application will send the products' ID and quantity back to the server to process the order. After processing, client side application will show user the response from the server.

Also you can use a product. Kalitte Dynamic Dashboards for Asp.Net allows you to use any Asp.Net server control inside widgets.

I need to implement a functionality in my project. I have two gridviews. First grid has 5 columns and second grid has only one column. The last column of first grid is "Names". And the only column in second grid also "Names". I need to assign names from second grid to first grid by using drag and drop functionality.While drag and drop from second grid, It should replace the exist item from the last column of first grid and the item which I drag and drop from second grid should still remain in second grid. Any ideas please!..

Just wanted to say that the Firefox fix listed below did not work in version 2.0. Does anyone else know how to fix this issue?

Also does anyone have a more detailed example of how to do a drag remove of an item? For example drag it out of the shopping cart to a trash bin.

Thanks

Sorry but I am not quite familiar with VB syntax but seems that there's some existing 'translators' which may translate the C# code into VB one directly.

for now I did not implement the 'remove' feature. and if you wanna add this, you may have to add more info to the item stored in the shopping cart such as the id. then in the _refreshShoppingCart(), it should be very easy to iterate each of the products and find the right one to be removed.

about the paging, will you please explain more? what's the requirement or what's the user scenario?

nice !! (sorry for my bad english

but under firefox , when your start drag, you select text too when the mouse move , to resolve it :

add to function in ShoppingCart.js
,
_false: function(){
return false;
},
_true: function(){
return true;
},

in this function add

// this method will be called when user starts dragging
onDragStart: function() {
document.onmousedown = this._false;
},

finaly add in onDragEnd :
// this method will be called when user finishes dragging
onDragEnd: function(canceled) {

document.onmousedown = this._true;

if (this._visual)
// remove the transparent element
this.get_element().parentNode.removeChild(this._visual);
},
Title: Product.vb in the App_Code folder   
Name: ssankofa

Comment:
My hosting company set up a Microsoft Club site which places .vb files in my App_Code directory by default. I get an error message when I try to include the Product.cs file from this application. The files '/App_Code/Product.cs' and "the existing files" use a different language, which is not allowed since they need to be compiled together. Is it possible to see a sample of the application coded in VB?

you just simply add a 'remove' link beside the item in the shopping cart and in the click event handler you invoke another web service method, passing the item id. then in the callback function, just remove this item from UI.

no it is not a must but it will be a good idea if you could build it as a Behavior.

you do not need to 'install' anything on the server, but just install the Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 and ASP.NET AJAX Futures CTP locally on your dev machine and deploy the DLLs to your server - everything will just be fine.
