hi internally gridview is also use Table. so it doesn't matter whether you use table or gridview. and also look and fill of table is depend upon what CSS is applied on it. please refer http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2008/08/13/top-10-css-table-designs/ http://pythoughts.com/table-style-css/ hope this will help you.
