			CrossTab.aspx Page
		</h1>
		<p>
			<b>Description:</b> &nbsp;&nbsp;The CrossTab.aspx page shows a&nbsp;quarterly 
			breakdown of sales based on geographical region. It also displays the totals 
			for each region, the totals for each month within the quarter, and the total 
			for the whole quarter.
		</p>
		<p>
			<strong>Overview:</strong> &nbsp;&nbsp;The CrossTab Report shows totals for 
			each region in the footer of the Datagrid. The totals for each month of the 
			quarter are shown in the rightmost column. The grand total for the quarter is 
			calculated and displayed in the bottom right corner.
		</p>
		<p>
			<img src="./images/1x1.gif" width="25"> <img src="./images/CrossTabTotals.png">
		</p>
		<p>This report uses the same technique of grouping related data that is used in the 
			Tabular report (in this case, grouping sales data by quarter). The grouping is 
			done by nesting a DataGrid control inside of a DataList control.
		</p>
		<p>
			Since the data is time-based, to provide better performance the reports are 
			filtered by year.</p>
		<p>
			<strong>Implementation Notes:&nbsp;</strong> &nbsp; As the Datagrids for each 
			quarter are being databound, the running totals are summed.
		</p>
		<pre>
	//*********************************************************************
	//
	// The SumItems event handler is for the OnItemDataBound event of the datagrids for each quarter.
	// It adds running totals for each region for a particular quarter.
	// It also adds the sum totals fo the regions of the quarter as well.
	//
	//*********************************************************************

	protected void SumItems(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
	{
		// sum up the data in the columns as the datagrid is databinding
		if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
		{
			// get the sales value for eastern region
			double eastern = Convert.ToDouble(e.Item.Cells[1].Text);
			// add sales value to the running total
			_eastern += eastern;
			// format to display sales value as currency
			e.Item.Cells[1].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", eastern);

			double western = Convert.ToDouble(e.Item.Cells[2].Text);
			_western += western;
			e.Item.Cells[2].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", western);

			double southern = Convert.ToDouble(e.Item.Cells[3].Text);
			_southern += southern;
			e.Item.Cells[3].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", southern);
			
			double northern = Convert.ToDouble(e.Item.Cells[4].Text);
			_northern += northern;
			e.Item.Cells[4].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", northern);
			
			double totals = Convert.ToDouble(e.Item.Cells[5].Text);
			_totals += totals;
			e.Item.Cells[5].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", totals);
		}
		else if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Footer )
		{
			// display our summations in footer
			e.Item.Cells[0].Text = "Totals";
			e.Item.Cells[0].HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Left;
			e.Item.Cells[1].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", _eastern);
			e.Item.Cells[2].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", _western);
			e.Item.Cells[3].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", _southern);
			e.Item.Cells[4].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", _northern);
			e.Item.Cells[5].Text = string.Format("{0:c}", _totals);

			// resest the running totals for next datagrid
			_eastern = 0;
			_western = 0;
			_southern = 0;
			_northern = 0;
			_totals = 0;
		}
	}
		</pre>
		<p>
			To group the related data, a DataGrid control is nested inside of a DataList 
			control. The DataGrid control is used here since it is more flexible 
			to&nbsp;format the look and feel of it.
		</p>
		<p>

		</p>
		<p>The filter by year is done by calling the GetRegionSales method with the 
			selected year filter.</p>
		<pre>
	protected SalesReportCollection GetQuarterDetails(int quarter)
	{
		return SalesReport.GetRegionSales(quarter, Convert.ToInt32(YearDropDownList.SelectedItem.Value));
	}
		</pre>

Started programming when i was a kid with 286 computers and Spectrum using BASIC from 1986. There was series of languages like pascal, c, c++, ada, algol, prolog, assembly, java, C#, VB.NET and so on. Then shifted my intrest in Architecture during past 5 years with Rational Suite and UML. Wrote some articles, i was member of month on some sites, top poster(i only answer) of week (actually weeks), won some books as prizes, rated 2nd in ASP.NET and ADO.NET in Australia.

There is simplicity in complexity
