Summary:
The list of ASP.NET rich data-bound controls is a long one, but it's not all-encompassing. You won't find any Microsoft® .NET counterpart for the Data control—a scrollable and updateable binding context that data-bound controls could rely on to refresh their user interface. The original Data control allowed for simple movements—first, next, previous, and last. It worked on top of a Recordset object and exposed the UpdateRecord method to save changes according to the capabilities of the currently selected type of cursor. While not the perfect programming tool, the Data control was especially good at building simple user interfaces for tables used internally for administrative purposes. |
