Data Controls

ASP.NET has a full set of controls that you can use for working with, displaying, and binding to data. These controls are meant to work with little to no additional code. Instead of writing code, you should be able to configure the controls to behave as you want. Figure 17.65 shows a list of all the data controls in the Toolbox.

Figure 17.65 You use the Data controls in ASP.NET to allow users to work with data inside your website.

Table 17.7 provides a brief overview of each of these controls.
