Editable web data grid for ASP.NET

Question

Hello, a customer asked me for a web app, written in ASPNET, that can use an editable grid (that works with a SqlServer DB) in the similar manner as Excel works; i can use gridView with Edit link in every row but i wanted to know if there are better solutions (possibly free..) that i can use.

Thanks in advance ! c.

We have recently started using the ASPxGridView from Devexpress. It seems very good, especially for large datasets.

It is not like Excel, as such, but it does allow add/edit/delete from within the control and supports SQL Server.
