COMET: Multi-client update Grid for Asp .net web App

Nature is so amazing that almost no two entities are identical, but every entity is unique. No two human faces are identical, but every one is unique. Likewise, business needs are never the same, but are unique. This brings a need to design customized software systems for every business even if they are in the same industry - say finance or healthcare. i.e., No two finance companies competing in same area are satisfied with same set of software. Their methodology differ, requirements differ, design differ. This makes one of them more successful.

After an article on COMET grid control (click link), this article focuses on taking a step further in the area with a specialized case. In the previous article, we discussed on a generalized COMET grid control. In this article we will discuss on using COMET approach to update multiple clients with varying data. That is, consider we have an ASP .net page that displays weather information. One web client, say Alice, sits in NYC and another web client, say Bob, sits in Chicago. Obviously we need to post different weather data to Alice and Bob. The previous article's COMET grid control have the capability to update all the clients with just same data. But that will not serve well our requirement here. We need to update Alice and Bob with different data. This article explains about a grid control with that capability: 'COMET: Multi Client update grid control. As always, fully working samples are available for download.
