Using the <i class="emphasis">Table</i> Class

Using the Table Class

You can use the Table class to create an HTML table. Here is the hierarchy of this class:

Object
   Control
      WebControl
         Table

Table objects correspond to <table> elements in Web pages; to create an entire table, you'll also need TableRow and TableCell objects, as discussed in the In Depth section of this chapter.

You can find the notable public properties of Table objects in Table 16.16. (This class has no non-inherited methods or properties.) Note that as with other Web server controls, I am not listing the notable properties, methods, and events this class inherits from the Control and WebControl classes-you can find them in Chapter 15, in Tables 15.1 to 15.5.

Table 16.16: Noteworthy public properties of *Table* objects.

GridLines	Gets/sets the gridlines property of the Table class.
