Building a Full-Featured Custom DataGrid Control

Conclusion

So in retrospect, you've ended up with a full-featured custom Datagrid control that you can reuse! Well, I hope that wasn't too overwhelming. We covered quite a bit of ground, but in the end, we ended up with some powerful implementations, that have a great number of possibilities. Creating your own custom controls has you doing less work by putting into place a good code/layout separation schema.

In any event, the methodologies examined here can easily be fitted to other well-know server controls in creating other new and very customizable controls. I hope that you ended up learning more of the profound possibilities and options .NET offers the next-generation of developers.

Until Next Time. Happy .NETing</>
