Data Binding

Spread makes it easy to present, edit and update your ASP.NET data. Spread can bind to any data source that supports the IList or IListSource interface, including datasets. Once you've connected to your data, Spread automatically configures its' cell types to the appropriate data type and only allows editing for that data type; for example, displaying a checkbox for boolean fields. Of course you still have full control over the data editing and presentation. Locking cells to prevent them from being edited, hiding columns or rows, or changing the assigned cell type are all things that are easily accomplished.
