HTML table vs ASP.Net table

[aliweb]

Hello,

If we want to display records in ASP then we simply loop through them and display them as follows

<%While not rs.EOF%>
       <td><%=rs("Record1")%></td>
<%
rs.MoveNext
Wend
%>

Now what is the best way to do this in ASP.Net? Shall I create an ASP.Net table control?
Basically I want to display records as shown in the screenshot. What is the best way to do that in ASP.Net?

I just noticed I have posted it in wrong forum so please move it to ASP.Net General Discussion.

what the hell is ASP.Net table control???
show records in datagrid control (it generates tabels in html), bind datagrid to dataset or some other data control.

Actually there is a web form (asp.net control) "table" System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table

I am about to start with datagrid. Does it support paging?

 

[kulrom]

Yes it does support paging. Just, make sure that you've got 'Allow paging' checked using the property builder.
Make a procedure to bind the data and then just In the page_index_changed event handler add next lines:

DataGrid1.CurrentPageIndex = e.NewPageIndex 
FillWithData() 'assuming that it's the name of your Sub
