The DataGrid Web server control is a powerful tool for displaying information from a data source. It is easy to use. You can display editable data in a professional-looking grid by setting only a few properties. At the same time, the grid has a sophisticated object model that provides you with great flexibility in how you display the data.
The GridView control enables you to select, sort, and edit the values of a data source displayed in a table where each column represents a field and each row represents a record. The GridView control supports these features:
-
Built-in row selection capabilities.
-
Binding to data source controls, such as SqlDataSource.
-
Customizable appearance through themes and styles.
-
Built-in update and delete capabilities.
-
Programmatic access to the GridView object model to dynamically set properties, handle events, and so on.
-
Built-in sort capabilities.
-
Built-in paging capabilities.
-
Multiple key fields.
-
Multiple data fields for the hyperlink columns.
