DataList vs. DataGrid in ASP.NETThis month I want to look at two of the more specialized controls that come with the ASP.NET Framework: the DataList and the DataGrid. Both of these controls are full-featured data-managing tools. In addition to providing a simplified UI programming model for displaying data, ASP.NET includes facilities for binding data sources to these controls so you don't have to write all the code necessary to fish around a database and present your content. This month I'll compare and contrast the DataGrid and DataList controls, starting with DataGrid.
