Question

I am using .NET Studio 2003 and Framework 1.1
After Binding a DataSource to any DataGrid when I see the generated Source in browser.
it shows like this

<table>
 <tr>
   <td>Abc</td>
   <td>Def</td>
   <td>Ghi</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
   <td>Abc</td>
   <td>Def</td>
   <td>Ghi</td>
 </tr>
</table>

but instead of getting this I want to generate code like this (below)

<table>
 <thead> 
  <tr>
   <td>Abc</td>
   <td>Def</td>
   <td>Ghi</td>
  </tr>
 </thead>
 <tbody>
  <tr>
   <td>Abc</td>
   <td>Def</td>
   <td>Ghi</td>
  </tr>
 </tbody>
 </table>

For getting pure html structure repeater is the best choice. you can use repeater as below for your code.

<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="rptData">
    <HeaderTemplate>
        <table>
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        Abc
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        Def
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        Ghi
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </thead>

    </HeaderTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <tr>
            <td>
                Abc
            </td>
            <td>
                Def
            </td>
            <td>
                Ghi
            </td>
        </tr>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <FooterTemplate>
         </table>
    </FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
