Dear Friend,

GridView is the best control and for bulk data use paging and it depends on what data you want to show.

Paging GridView with ROW_NUMBER()[^]

Thanks

I say basically the same thing. "It depends" is a key here. Useful reference, my 5.

Solution 2

It totally depends what features you want to provide to your users. You can compare gridview with other controls used for displaying data in terms of pros and cons of each and choose wisely. read these:

comparing-listview-with-gridview-datalist-and-repeater[^]

Repeater-DataList-ListView-GridView.[^]

hope it helps :)

Makes sense. As I say in my answer, all such answers are of low validity, because, as you correctly point out, it depends. So, my 5.

"Compilation error 0666: predicate 'better' is not defined".

Jokes aside: it depends. Without explanation of the structure of the data, required presentation options (usually totally defined by semantic of the data and application requirements) and, yes, the idea on typical volumes of the data, the question really makes no sense.

Well, a quick answer with very low validity (by the reasons explained above): System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView, with paging, http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page[^].
