Is it possible to output data from a database in ASP.NET without using a datagrid. The reason for this is that I can't seem to be able to loop through a table or use a lot of the programing concepts that I'm used to using in ASP. Obviously, using datagrids is probally a much better option and carries out a lot of the task I'm attempting to do but I just can't seem to get the hang of it or find related information (before anyone thinks of saying "google it").

Any help would be nice, possibly some links to some good tutorials for ASP.NET and Access too lol.

Sure, something like this will do it:


Dim Records As Integer, QuerysHad As Integer, CurrentQuery As Integer
Records = yourdataset.??? (something like #Entries)
Do While Records > QuerysHad
   HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("Database Entry:")
   QuerysHad = QuerysHad + 1
End While

Gone..

ick.. might as well just recommend "stay in ASP 3.0"

there's a few options other than DataGrid... there's the Repeater control and the DataList control

Got a better idea? Why don't you try it with datagrids or repeaters. That's a quicker easier and 'more .NET like' solution.
