Difference between BoundField and TemplateField?
Sheetal Arora
Bound field
By using bound field we can bind the data directly by using header text and datafield with out using any controls.
Headertext : we can specify header for the data
Datafield : Its the field which gets the data from dataset.
Example : if we specify a field name in datafield it searches in dataset with the same column name and binds the data.
we can define our own asp controls in bound field column only thing we can do is only binding the data.
Template field
We can define our own asp controls in template field.
and we can bind the data from dataset to template field columns directly.
Bound Field :- It is use to Display your Data in GridView . Templete Field :- If U Want To do Some More Action in GridView Like Editing , Display Images etc Then U Hav To Use Templete Filed.
BoundField is used to display databound data meanwhile TemplateFiled represents a field that displays custom content in a data-bound control
