I am thinking about using on of the technologies mentioned in the title but I can’t decide which one would be the best for me. I jsut looked at asp.net to get an idea of each technology but I think I need a mix of MVC and WebForms, so that is why I am asking..

  • I want the MVC structure in the app itself and in the URLs
  • I want easily create a gridview with paging and sorting and easily map it to an SQL Database
  • I want to style everything easily via CSS

After I looked at asp.net I think MVC3 would be great for me but I need this in combination with WebForms, as I saw the DataGridView Control will be the best choice for my gridview.

Does someone give me some ideas what the best might be for me ?

After a long time using PHP and HTML/JS I hate it to doe every little step and using precreated Controls I only need to map to a database and customize via css would be a great enhancement to speed development things up!

Thanks!

    In my opinion you should opt for MVC 3 approach (given most of your points mentioned) combined with jQuery DataTables. This gives you a best of both worlds – a great data visualiser and all the advantages of MVC 3.

    Additionally if you didn’t want to use the jQuery Data Tables you could look into MVC 3 Web grid which is the built in DataGridView equivalent for MVC:
