Displaying data... that simple a question

[mendhak]

There may be something fundamentally wrong with the way I'm thinking.

I have a dataset, with a couple columns, and a few rows. Now, if I wanted to make an editable form for this (one textbox for each column in each row, thus creating a lot of textboxes), how would I go about doing this?

From the current mindset I have, which is very ASP 3.0 based, I'd so something like this:

'Code behind:
 Response.Write("<table border=1><tr>")
 
        For intColCount = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1
 
            Response.Write("<td><b>" & ds.Tables(0).Columns(intColCount).ToString & "</b></td>")
 
        Next
 
        Response.Write("</tr>")
 
 
 
        For intCount = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
            Response.Write("<tr>")
            For intCount2 = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1
                Response.Write("<td>" & ds.Tables(0).Rows(intCount).Item(intCount2).ToString & "</td>")
            Next
            Response.Write("</tr>")
        Next
 
        Response.Write("</table>")

You can see what I'm doing here, and for editable textboxes, I'd just replace the appropriate <td>s, etc, etc, etc.

But a few questions arise:

1) Is this the right way at all?
2) What if I wished to have the output of this above code in the middle of some page where other elements already exist? Would I place this code inline to the ASPX page contents, or is that wrong?

Enlighten me.
