Hi there,
I'm giving a talk tomorrow night at the Columbia, SC .NET User Group on "Web Grids Present and Future", as in the asp:DataGrid control today, and the asp:GridView control in the next version, along with its related new controls. Come by and say hello if you're in that part of the world.
Also I'm alive--I had several emails inquiring :)
Thanks! -- Datagrid Girl / GridView Girl
