Looking to identify an asp.net grid control that has more functionality and ease of use than the standar asp.net grid control but doesn't punish you wiht excessive html or javscript code. Currently using infragistics but the html for a page is typically in the 90k range and the js that is parsed/downloaded is about 250k. This seems excessive. Anyone have recommendations for a happier medium ?

A: 

I never found one, so I build all my grids manually using the Repeater control

Doesn't this get tedious in providing functionality that users are looking for in grids such as sort by, selection controls etc?

Actually no. Less hassling with a pre-built control and getting just the behavior I need. After awhile, they don't take as long to build.

Have you tried the CSS Friendly Control adapter?

I agree, the CSS Friendly Control adapters render much better markup.
