You can use templates to provide custom user interface for certain features of WebDataGrid™. You can use custom templates for paging and editing. There is a template to display a message for controls with no data as well as an error template for exception notification. Further, you can customize every aspect of a column (cells, headers, and footers) using templates. Creating a template is quick and simple through the designer. At runtime, you can implement the ITemplate interface to create custom templates.
