I'm just learning asp.net so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but is there a way to get data from a database table(s) and display it without using a datagrid? Every example I find in books or on the net get the necessary data and bind it to a datagrid. What if I don't want to display it that way? Is there a way to loop through a dataset as I use to with a recordset? Thanks for any help!Sure...Look for the docs on a data reader. Any book should have some examples, and I think that learnasp.com does too.
