Scott, yes you're right, I've not been terribly happy with using the
GUI,
I'm going to switch on this one pretty soon.
I teach a class on ASP.NET and it surprises me how many students use the
GUI tools. In talking with high-end ASP.NET developers, I have found that
virtually none of them employ these GUI tools...
I applaud you for your decision. For more information on the DataGrid
using the non-GUI techniques, I would (humbly) recommend that you check
out this 15-part article series I wrote:
An Extensive Examination of the DataGrid Web Control

Another great resource of common DataGrid questions (and answers) is
available at:

Happy Programming!

consider picking up a copy of my latest book:
