Objectives:
To create an aspx page FTPHelper which should fetch data
from the table dbo.FTPHelper of Ecommcore database.

To load the data in Grid view.

The page should contain functionalities such as Sorting,
Editing, Updating , Deleting the Record and Paging.

To pop-up Validation Messages for Mandatory fields and
Success Message for Update done.

To update the changes in Ecommcore Database.

FTPHelper Page:
The Page has columns namely ID, FTP Location, Fileshare
Location, Frequency, Frequency Measure, Frequency Constant
and FTP Mode.
The last two columns has Edit and Delete icons.


The Edit column will display Update and Cancel icons when
the record is in Editable State.

All columns are contained in Grid view.

Other than "ID" column, all the values are displayed in label in
the Grid.

In Editable State the Columns FTP Location, Fileshared
Location, Frequency and Frequency Constant will be displayed
in Textboxes, Frequency Measure and FTP Mode will be
displayed as Drop down list boxes.
Field Validations are done for mandatory Fields FTP Location,
Fileshared Location and Frequency using JavaScript
"ValidateEditRow".
In ""Frequency" column only integer Values can be entered to
the Maximum length of 2.
The screen has paging options and the screen will hold 25
records per page.










When "Delete" icon for a particular record is clicked, a
confirmation Message box will prompt with "Are you sure
want to delete?. If "Ok", the record will be deleted from the
Database. If "Cancel" the record will not be deleted.

When Column Heading is clicked; the records will be sorted in
ascending and descending order vice-versa.
