Typical Scenarios

WebCombo.NET has been configured with three typical scenarios of connecting multiple WebCombos:

Single Dependency Scenario
The single dependency scenario is the most basic scenario. It involves only one-to-one relation between one WebCombo and another.

The most common scenario is found in relations between Division, Manager and Staff.
User will select a Division record where list of managers appear based on selected Division. It will then be followed by a list of staff reporting to the selected Manager.
In this scenario, division has a one-to-one relation with manager, in turn manager has a one-to-one relation with Staff.

Multiple Dependency Scenario
Multiple dependency scenario is used in a situation where the results are dependent on more than one WebCombo instances.
For example, You need a list of supplier that is based on Product Category and City. Both the Product Category and City are independent and not linked.
To select the list, you will have to fill in both Product Category and City prior to selection.

Combined Dependency Scenario
Combined scenario is the combination of single and multiple dependencies scenario in order to create an array of linked WebCombo instances, where one is dependent to another and another WebCombo is dependent on one or more than one instances.
One common scenario for the combined mode is similar to the following: A Vehicle input requires VehicleType to be filled first, the available dealers in turn depend on the VehicleType and Dealer input.

Simple Setting
Simply by configuring the LinkSettings property either programmatically using code-behind or automatically using VS.NET IDE property window, developers can link multiple WebCombos
