What the differences between page.databind and control.databind?
All I have use in my applications to bind the datagrid is the control.databind. I have research page.databind online but I still don't understand it.
Can someone explain to me what is the purpose of page.databind? Also, is there a performance difference?

It binds a data source to the invoked server control and all its child controls. I would assume it does have a performance gain but I didnt find anything on that.

This is the part I don't understand, which also I got from my research of other website: It binds a data source to the invoked server control and all its child controls. I still don't know what's the purpose of it. :confused:

Multiple bindings at once vs. explicitly binding each control one at a time.

Page.DataBind is the same thing as Control.DataBind, with less code, and UNNOTICEABLY lower performance (since it needs to loop through the controls' collection)

I see I assumed wrong with the performance point.

Yes, and I am never too humble to admit it either :D
Btw, then the Page.DataBind is the lazy programmers way to bind the controls vs the hard core programmer using the Control.DataBind.
