Which control to use? (asp.net 2)

N

Not Me

Hi,

I'm quite new to .net altogether but am learning using the beta of
VS2005. I need a few clues on which controls are the best to use for
which situations.

One has come up where I have a simple relationship between reference
number and 'area of expertise'.. in the tables this is as follows

refno|expertise
---------------------
232 |"one thing"
232 |"another thing"
837 |"one thing"
719 |"another thing"

I hope you get the gist!

In my asp pages I would like to display the expertise for a selected
individual, and be able to edit, delete and insert new areas of
expertise. The values for expertise are held in a single-field table,
so a dropdownbox sounds like a good way of choosing the appropriate value.

Using a gridview seems more complicated than it should be - the form
view looks appealing but again I'm not sure. A continuous form in
access would do the job great, but should I be making similarities
between the controls - or is does a formview inherit little from an
access form?

any tips would be great!
Thanks,
Chris
