So what’s the simplest way to build a Web-based interface for a basic database table? In this article I’ll provide a fully working example with a minimum of code.

This is a useful feature to be able to put together, especially when you are catering to power users who should be able to help maintain their own data without needing to call you each time. Continue reading “C# Example of a GridView Tied to a SQLDataSource”
