Inserting , updating and deleting of Data

Question

Hi All,

I want to make a control that show list of bounded data like in grid view but I want to be able to insert new record from the same control

what is the best asp.net control I can use to do that (GridView , FormView or DetailsView)? and why?

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

You can do that with all three. If you want to know how, there are some good tutorials on the official ASP.NET website, here.

The choice between them is a formatting/layout decision. A GridView produces a table, showing multiple records, while a DetailsView shows one at a time. A FormView lets you display the data however you want, but required much more effort, since you have to provide the HTML.
