Asp Gridview use Boundfields? or Templatefields?
Solution 1
If you want to display rows without anything fancy, or any particular design, you would use BoundField. However if you would like to design the displaying of the record in a different manner than the default - you would need to create your own row template, by using the TemplateField.
Check out these links - they briefly explain the differences, but it is basically default VS customised presentation. http://forums.asp.net/t/1369418.aspx?boundfield+vs+template+field+in+gridview http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Interviews/answer/1751/difference-between-boundfield-and-templatefield
Solution 2
If you want to just display the data then you should use bound field attribute.
Solution 3
- The BoundField displays the value of specified DataSource field as text.

The TemplateField allows for a mix of HTML markup, Web controls, and data-binding syntax.
Your purpose is only to display data.So i think you need BoundField Here

I put data in a data table e.g.
dt.TableName = "SA1"; da.Fill(dt); GridView1.DataSource = dt; GridView1.DataBind();
Now I'm not sure if I should use boundfield (For all columns)
<asp:BoundField DataField="Unit" HeaderText="Unit" SortExpression="Unit" />
or use
<asp:TemplateField> <HeaderTemplate> Units </HeaderTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txbUnits" Text='<%# Eval("Unit")%>'></asp:TextBox> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField>
and add the data as i go along, the gridview's purpose is only to display data
