How to add datagrid to ASP.net web application?

Question

I want to add a datagrid to my ASP.net web application. Is it possible to do this without recreating my project as a Silverlight project? If so, how do I do it?

I only see the option to add a DataList in my toolbox and no option at all for a DataGrid. I'm also not sure how to include a library in my project, if it is even possible to do this (this is my first time working with VB.NET so it's all a little confusing still). In C, C++, Java it's so easy! Or do I even need to use the SilverLight library at all?

If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional.

Thanks!

In previous versions of .NET, a tabled list of records was referred to as a datagrid. In .NET 4 (Visual Studio 2010), it is now called a gridview and will be available in the Toolbox.

Also, there isn't any need to recreate your project as a Silverlight project. You can use gridviews in ASP.NET Web Applications.
