Hi All

In ASP.NET, if we want to use some gridview,we will write like this

ASP.NET

<asp:GridView runat="server">

But I recently saw in some websites that they are using their own tags.
For Example

ASP.NET

<ig:MyGrid  runat="server">

What is difference between these two?

Please can anyone give some clarity about this by sharing your knowledge.(I am new to this technology)

ThankYou

"asp:GridView" uses the standard grid. "ig:MyGrid" would use a custom grid named MyGrid in whatever namespace ig is mapped to.

Solution 1

It seems to be UserControl.

Have a look at below article for more information on User controls in ASP.NET.

Solution 2

The first one represent a control for ASP.NET, a control named "GridView". The asp: represent an alias for an especific NameSpace.

The second one is a custom control created for "someone" called MyGrid. The ig: is the alias for the custom Namespace.

Hope you can find useful.
