Gerard,

I just re-read your question and it occurred to me that you might be asking how to implement a simple drop-down list control and then refresh a grid that is already on the page with data from a child table.

This is not difficult at all in .NET. Simply change the DataSource property of the grid in the DropDownList's SelectedIndexChanged event to whichever table you want to display.

>>Gerard, this can be done on a web form but it will require a lot of javascript along with the server-side code. Using an iframe, you can trigger a popup web browser window with the javascript:onClick event, or you can make a second web request (or web service request) from the onClick event, retrieve the grid, then manually re-arrange the exising content and insert the grid's HTML.
