Listview control is one of my favorite controls added in asp.net version 3.5. It provides easy way to implement view (list), update, insert and delete functionality. Using SQL Data Source or LINQ Data Source control, you can create a page that will display data from database in your desired format. It will also allow you to edit, insert or delete a record from the listview itself. And the good part is that you don't need to write any code. This may be disappointing to a hard core programmer like me. But again this saves lot of development time.
