Question

I am new to SharePoint development, I am using VS2010 and SharePoint2010.

I am wondering whether there is a restriction using a asp.net ListView in a SharePoint web part control. Because for some reason the intelliSense does not provide me ListView, just a GridView

Thanks

Answer 1

Web Parts in SharePoint are ASP.NET Web Parts. So you can freely use without any restrictions the ASP.NET Controls.

The Code Behind might use the SharePoint API but everything you can do is provided by ASP.NET.

Edit:

Are you missing an Reference for the ListView ? You need to add a reference to System.Web.Extensions in order to use the ListView
