[mike55]

Is it possible to add a horizontal or vertical scroll bar to a datagrid?? Need a better option to paging!!

It's possible, yes.

Not sure if it is viable enough of an answer... but this code:

shows how to scroll to an editable row....

otherwise, search google for "DataGrid scroll", there's tons of hits linking to code

Hi

Its simple Add <Div> tag before and at the end of the datagrid .... it will scroll.

Best of luck

That will also scroll the column headers, SumeetK. Not very pretty.

Is there an alternative to a datagrid, keeping in mind that i am developing a web based application??

The DataGrid, as I see it, is an undercooked pile of cow manure. I use a home-brewed component that works just as well. It took less than an hour to create, and might be a viable idea for you to look into. ASP.NET also offers the DataList control, numerous HtmlControls, and of course direct rendering using HTML markup.
