Difference between datagrid and gridview

The DataGrid Web server control is a powerful tool for displaying information from a data source. It is easy to use. You can display editable data in a professional-looking grid by setting only a few properties. At the same time, the grid has a sophisticated object model that provides you with great flexibility in how you display the data.

The GridView control enables you to select, sort, and edit the values of a data source displayed in a table where each column represents a field and each row represents a record. The GridView control supports these features:

• Built-in row selection capabilities.
• Binding to data source controls, such as SqlDataSource.
• Customizable appearance through themes and styles.
• Built-in update and delete capabilities.
• Programmatic access to the GridView object model to dynamically set properties, handle events, and so on.
• Built-in sort capabilities.
• Built-in paging capabilities.
• Multiple key fields.
• Multiple data fields for the hyperlink columns.
