GridView

The GridView control was introduced with ASP.NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 as a replacement for the DataGrid control.  While it has many similarities to the original DataGrid control the GridView is a more feature rich control.

A variety of resources are linked below to help you get started with using the GridView control.  If you don't find them here you might find them in the data access tutorials.
