What is the difference between datagrid and gridview in asp.net 2 ?

The difference between is that the gridview has built-in control for common operations like sorting, paging, editing and even deleting data. While datagrid required three poodles, a ring of fire and the sacrifice of a small child to get it to do those "routine" tasks. Datagid control can increase actions when the user clicks to save or cancel changes, it doesn't offer much more than that. For more information visit this site Download Link1
