The QuickTable allows you to quickly expose data in a sensible way. It features server-side paging, sorting, and a nice look and feel.
The QuickTable gets data from a table or view and displays it without the ViewState monster of DataGrid or GridView. This is meant just to quickly show some data in a tabular format if you don't need all the other stuff from DGs and GVs.
It also allows sorting straight away, and paging too: Server Side Paging. This guy is ideal for large tables.
You can show only the columns you want by defining a column list:
ColumnList="ProductID, ProductName"
You can change the header by adding a colon:
ColumnList="ProductID:ID, ProductName:Name"
You can link to other pages:
LinkToPage="ThisOtherPage.aspx". This will put a link on the first column using the primary key, and the querystring value of "id": "thisotherpage.aspx?id=1"
You can use other columns as links:
LinkOnColumn="ProductName"
You can override all of the elements (Table, Pagers, Alternating cells, Regular Cells, etc) with your own CSS. We've tried to make it look pretty for you though:
