C# may be better than Java doing Bill Gates API, but that is sort of the whole point, Java's intention is to get away from Steve Ballmer strategies, it works with "anything"

You know, Ballmer was the original office manager for Microsoft! As in..."Steve, we need somemore mechanical pencils." Now that is a statement about corporate America.

I have to agree with PhpPete. In the ASP vs PHP realm, PHP wins, with the exception of what you can do/connect to with ADO.
.Net has caught up with and possibly surpassed PHP - I really have not explored far enough myself to make that call - but I tried a datagrid example adapted to my database - wow - a monkey could do that!
But.....most serious code is much more than select * from sometable...
More important than the language is the overall design, and it is hear that I think sometimes, with scripting language, we have created some maintenance problems....

There is ADOdb for PHP for the ADO option, and datagrid do exist for PHP.
You have to remember that ASP is a framework. VBScript doesn't have even close to what PHP has as part of its language. When you add frameworks to the mix, PHP still has everything ASP has, and probably more.

I refuse to learn ASP for the simple fact that I hate Microsoft with a passion.

Good to learn of the existance of ADOdb. I use ASP at work - just another tool in your tool box is the way I look at it.
The .Net framework allows for something like 19 langauges or so - there is even a COBOL.NET - geez...that's gotta be like AmishBuggy.Net....

Is there documentation somewhere on how to write a datagrid in PHP. I searched php.net site and was unable to find anything.
Thanks!
