This class provides a powerful object model for creating HTML tables.
It is similar to, but more abstract than, the
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTable class. It
also allows ASP.NET to optimize rendering for both down-level and
up-level browsers. You can use it to dynamically generate an HTML
table by adding TableRow objects to the
Rows collection and adding
TableCell objects to each row. Note that if you
create or modify a table's structure
programmatically, these changes will not be preserved across
postbacks and you will have to reconstruct them manually; table rows
and cells are controls of their own, not properties of
Table.
Most other properties for the Table class
correspond to formatting options, including a background image
(BackImageUrl), alignment
(HorizontalAlign), gridlines
(GridLines), the spacing between cells
(CellSpacing), and the spacing between cell
borders and content (CellPadding).
This class is often used by control developers, while the
DataGrid and DataList controls
are preferred for ASP.NET applications, particularly if data binding
is required.
