The tabular DataBound controls are the main set of controls that you use when working with database data. These controls enable you to display and, in some cases, modify data retrieved from a database or other type of data source.
There are six tabular DataBound controls. These controls can be divided into two types: those that display multiple data items at a time and those that display a single data item at a time.

Following controls to display a set of data items:
- GridView : Displays a set of data items in an HTML table. For example, you can use the GridView control to display all the records contained in the Movies database table. This control enables you to display, sort, page, select, and edit data.
- DataList : Displays a set of data items in an HTML table. Unlike the GridView control, more than one data item can be displayed in a single row.
- Repeater : Displays a set of data items using a template. Unlike the GridView and DataList controls, a Repeater control does not automatically render an HTML table.
- ListView : Displays a set of data items using a template. Unlike the Repeater control, the ListView control supports sorting, paging, and editing database data.
- DetailsView : Displays a single data item in an HTML table. For example, you can use the DetailsView control to display a single record from the Movies database table. This control enables you to display, page, edit, and add data.
- FormView : Uses a template to display a single data item. Unlike the DetailsView, a FormView enables you to layout a form by using templates.
