How to convert?

[Paulo]

Hi, I'm asp.net newbie and converting a old classic asp system, and on
classic asp we had:

<table>
<% While rs.eof %>
<tr>
<% For I = 1 To 3 'we'll have 3 columns, etc... %>
<td></td>
<% Next %>
</tr>
<% rs.Next
Loop
etc %>

What is equivalent on asp.net? it would be GridView?

Is possible to control dynamically the quantity of columns wich the table
will have?

because on asp we have total control over how the html will be produced,
with the tags <% %> inside the <table><tds><trs> etc...

Not a easy task converting to asp.net, dont you think ?

Thanks a lot!

Yup, GridView. And you would bind a DataTable from a DataSet to it in one
line of code.

And you can easily control what columns you want to display and what order
you want to see them in.

Yes, and what is surprising is how many former classic ASP developers ignore
all these features and persist in doing it "the old fashioned way"...
