ASP.Net Datagrid control

Hi lads,

Slowly but steadily I'm discovering the goods and bads of ASP.NET programming. On the one hand it's pretty simple to make a simple but rather functional web application, on the other hand the programming model, if any, it's really simplistic, and this is good, but also bad. On top of that there aren't billions of frameworks to use, in contrast to the Java world, that makes things easier, but also gives you less power. Other factors are the insane dependency on Microsoft, slave forever of IIS, that is definitely not good. Ahh, and don't forget you can program almost everything using very simple HTML and C#, this last one is becoming my favourite language, after god C++, of course.

Well, one very powerful web control provided by ASP.NET is the Datagrid control. It basically allows to show information in a table. This information must come to any source that implements the IEnumerable interface. All the dirty HTML code is automatically generated by ASP.NET, and this, for those of you who fought with the old classic ASP, is a blessing.

I have found a couple of good articles and web sites about the use of this Datagrid web control, I hope they are useful for you.

• An extensive examination of the Datagrid web control.
• Datagrid girl, just don't even ask me.
• Techrepublic.com on Datagrid. Actually there are loads of articles in techrepublic.

Enjoy!!!!!!!
