I have been using gridview for a long time. I have "to live with you with you and you cannot live without you."
The idea of editing, pasting and deleting from the grid is great, but you need to do something like
var sometext = ((TextBox)editRow.FindControl("tbSomeText")).Text;
just seems to me very unreasonable. Has someone come up with a solution or know (a resource) where you perform CRUD + paging and sorting operations from within the grid and should not write ugly code (for example, above). I am not looking for solutions using DataSource objects, as I am not their biggest fan. I will be glad if someone tells me how to live without a GridView in asp.net.
I understand that there are AJAX implementations, but I'm looking for something completely serveride.
