The ASP.NET DataGrid web control
The Dreamweaver DataGrid allows you to insert an ASP.NET DataGrid web control. The
DataGrid control renders tables as multi-column grids, and can include different column
types (heterogeneous columns) for defining the layout of cell contents. These include bound,
button, and template columns, among others. In addition, the DataGrid supports interactive
functionality such as column sorting, editing, and commands. The column types available in
the DataGrid are shown in the following table:

Free Form
Referred to as a “template column” in ASP.NET, the Free Form
column type lets you create combinations of HTML text and server
controls to design a custom layout for a column. The controls
within a free-form column can be data-bound. Free-form columns
give you added flexibility in defining the layout and functionality of
the grid contents, because you have complete control over how
the data is displayed and what happens when users interact with
rows in the grid.

Hyperlink
The Hyperlink column displays information as hypertext links. A
typical use is to display data (such as a customer number or
product name) as a hyperlink that users can click to navigate to a
separate page that provides details about that item.
