Data Source Web Server Controls

Data-bound Web server controls are controls that can be associated with a data source control to make it easy to display and modify data in your Web application. Data-bound Web server controls are composite controls that combine other ASP.NET Web controls, such as Label and TextBox controls, into a single layout.

The topics in this section provide information on the built-in data source controls in ASP.NET and how to use them to connect to data sources.

For complete syntax information for Web server controls, see Web Server Control Syntax.
