Datagrids, everywhere

Dewayne writes, “Does everyone in the VS.NET world use only DataGrids when they are building forms? If you read MSDN and the vast majority of .NET related websites that is all you would think exists in the world.”

Apparently my plan for world domination is well under way, ehhhxcellent...

Too bad it is deprecated in asp.net 2.0.

I think that datagrid is a control that must be totally reviewed in future... it's one of the most important control but it's difficult and limited to customize.

Not really deprecated, more like revised, GridView has most of the functionality...but of course DataGrids still work

Hey Marcie - Thanks for the linkage. But really, is there some reason that everybody wants to talk about datagrids? I mean when I look at most real world business forms they do not lend themselves to a grid layout. If the customer is willing to let you redesign the forms, GREAT, most people I have dealt with want to see the same thing on the screen and on the form (report), and getting them to see it any other way is a tough sell.

Hi Dewayne!
For web applications, I can't think of too many apps where you wouldn't at some point want to take data, and put it into an HTML < table >. The ASP.NET Datagrid just makes that process easier.

I definitely agree with you about not taking an existing design that is NOT grid-shaped, and forcing it into a grid layout, very inappropriate.
