Stupid question

[Antonio]

With all these new terms, is DataGrid and GridView the same thing?

 

[Steve]

i could be wrong, but at a guess the gridview may be read only.

Are you referring to ASP.NET 2? If so, the GridView is a new webcontrol
which provides much richer functionality than the v1.1 DataGrid, though the
DataGrid is still supported for backwards compatibility.

DataGridView is a new object that replaces DataGrid and is easier to use.

No, there are not the same. You can get Datagid back from VS 2005 by right
click the Toolbox -> Chosee Items...

The GridView in ASP.NET 2.0 looks and behaves much like the DataGrid in
1.1, but is enhanced with new features and added functionalities,
enablimg devs to do more with the control with less coding.

Actually, I think the real question is, why did the Winform DataGrid
and the WebForm dataGrid have the same name, when they were quite
different....
