Hello Decker,

Thanks for your reply and for your suggestions. I have been working on ASP.Net from couple of years and still consider myself a novice as my experience limits to accessing database using ADO.net or from code behind, using common controls such as Listview, Gridview etc. Also I have used web server controls in few projects.

Unfortunately, the link you provided doesn't answer my question as my question relates to building a custom web control which will display information like RSS reader : title, brief desc, date/time (please note I don't want a RSS reader). The idea is to have a web control which will only need datatable schema and data connection as inputs (limited to sql server client only) to display information and it will provide basic database manipulation functions (insert, delete, update) . This way I won't have to write code again if I need this kind of contol on a different web page or web project.

I am not expecting to have complete code for this as I just need an idea how this can be done.

Thank you.
