What Data View to Use?

Asked by MarketingDrive in Visual Studio 2008

Tags: Microsoft, Visual Studio, 2008

I am using VS 2008 and I am building my first web-based SQL database.  I have sucessfully created the SqlDataSource and my data is there with a test.   I have a question regarding the initial form choice.  I want to have a form created where I can place what fields I want from the SQL table on the form, resixe them and place them where I want. What data view do I pick? my choices are:
1) Gridview
2) DataList
3) DetailsView
4) FormView
5) List View

When I do not select anyone of them and simply drag and drop a field onto my form it automatically is in the gridview mode which does not allow me to resize or move individuals fields around the form.

I am converting this system from MS Access and my forms in access I can place the fields anywhere I want and need to reproduce the form I currently use.

Thank you for any assistance!
