What is the difference between a DataList control and DataGrid
control ?


How and where are DataLists used? Can somebody place some good links
for its use.

From MSDN:

Use the DataGrid control to display the fields of a data source as columns
in a table. Each row in the DataGrid control represents a record in the data
source. The DataGrid control supports selection, editing, deleting, paging,
and sorting.

Use the DataList control to display a template-defined data bound list. The
DataList control supports selecting and editing.

The contents of the DataList control can be manipulated by using templates.
The following table lists the supported templates.
