    Displaying data from a DS on a web page...?

    Ok, we have DataList, datagrid or datarepeater control.
    personally I hate these things, but they work.

    I currently use a XSL file, a CSS file and an XML control on my page.

    What is the best way of doing this?

    It depends. What sort of data is it? Something that, back in VB6, you would have displayed in a grid?

    yes it is. plain odd grid data.
    However, in VB6, binding a recordset to a flexgrid can be viewed as crude, and bad programming.
    Is this the same with binding a dataset to a DataList?
    Using xsl files means that they is NO binding, and you have FULL control of how the DS is presented in the web page.
