An article I really have to write - oh the woes of being lazy...just why the hell does everyone use DataGrids?

Tuesday, 16 March 2004

One thing that really puzzles me in the ASP.NET forums (apart from having to be moderated...which is a whole other story) is that practically everyone seems hell-bent on using the DataGrid. Why? What am I missing; I VERY rarely need to use a DataGrid, a Repeater is perfectly adequate for most of my needs - failing that a DataList is just fine. So come on perople, what's so hot about the DataGrid? Incidentally, I've been meaning to complete an article on this subject...I really have to get on with writing more articles - if only to give myself something to do!
