asp.net mvc webforms like gridview

Question

is there a grid for asp.net mvc that acts just like the asp.net webforms datagrid
the behavior that I need is to pass to the grid a DataTable without specifying the amount of columns

Answer 1

In my opinion you should not be using any of the server controls in MVC.

You will need to use a table and iterate through thr required objects, MVC allows much more control over the HTML which meens that you have to do a little more work.

I think you best look at the NerdDinner example.

And here is an example,

 <table>

      <% foreach (var category in Model) { %>

        <tr>
            <td><%= Html.Encode(category.data) %></td>            
        <tr>

      <% } %>

    </table>

Have a look at MvcContrib. They provide a Grid HTML helper, which is very powerful.

I have extended that Grid in my free library, etcetera.Mvc, added AJAX paging, sorting and some more nice options.
