In-Depth look at the GridView Control
We all enjoyed the datalist and the datagrid controls in Asp.net 1.1. There were thousands of operations that we can perform using datagrid and datalist control. Asp.net 2.0 ships with another data bound templated control which is called Grid View. Grid View has made everything easier for developers. The main changes that I have seen in Asp.net 2.0 is that we don’t require a lot of code to achieve tasks but most of the functionality is already provided and built in the control. In this article we will see the GridView control in action and we will see what type of operations we can perform using this control and how this control is better than the classic datagrid control.

Introduction to Design Patterns in C#
This is a practical book that tells you how to write C# programs using some of the most common design patterns. It also serves as a quick introduction to programming in the new C# language. The pattern discussions are structured as a series of short chapters, each describing a design pattern and giving one or more complete working, visual example programs that use that pattern. Each chapter also includes UML diagrams illustrating how the classes interact. This book is not a “companion” book to the well-known Design Patterns text. by the “Gang of Four.” Instead, it is a tutorial for people who want to learn what design patterns are about and how to use them in their work. You do not have to have read Design Patterns to read this book, but when you are done here you may well want to read or reread it to gain additional insights.
