Data Grid View

This page show an example of a "Grid View" server control. The Data Grid View tool can be used to link to and display data in your website pages from a back end database. With admin pages you can even use the Grid View server control tool to add, delete, or update data as often as needed. When you finish editing your data online it is changed nearly instantaneously for regular users to view.

Try playing around with the paging, and sorting tools that also improve this new server control. Click on the header word “Price” in the table below and notice how it sorts all the returned data by the price from cheapest to most expensive.
