The more you rely on the browser capabilities to paint (assuming a website
here), the better. This means you should try to use styles (CSS) rather than
use some of the shortcuts attached to the grid.

If you want to take this to the full extent, you will want to download the
CSS Friendly Control Adapters, which wrap the .NET controls to output pure
CSS. There is info here:

If you want to see a GridView in example, you can see it here:
