Indeed.  Use the new web matrix and use the MX data grid server control.

Subject: ASP.Net scrollable datagrid, but with static/unmoving column
headers

Don't think there are too many guys involved in/looking into ASP.Net on VI
programming lists, but specifically, at the moment, trying to figure out how
to implement static/unmoving column headers for an ASP.Net datagrid, with
the specific issue being that since there are quite a few datarows being
rendered in a datagrid, they want the column headers to stay static/floating
above the then scrollable columns of data, and was just wondering if anyone
had ideas off hand.

My own would be to in fact implement a static HTML table above the datagrid,
with the column headers in it, and then implement the datagrid in something
like either an inline frame, or a normal frame to allow the browser to
scroll up and down inside it, while still seeing the column headers above,
but the primary issue so far is I don't seem to be able to query/find a
rendition of the column widths etc. from the datagrid control, but have
otherwise been thinking about in fact chucking out the datagrid control as
such, and just something closer to older, classic ASP to in fact just render
the HTML output version of something like this, and would then just base the
column widths on something like a certain number of pixels/points per letter
of the column name, and would then use something closer to the classic
ASP/PHP outputting of the data table inside another frame or something.

Thoughts/examples/suggestions?

Stay well
