ASP.Net GridView Equivalent in Django
Ian
I have started looking at Django and was wondering if there is a
widget equivalent to ASP.Net's GridView in terms of richness of
functionality.
If someone knows of any and has some examples of its use I would
greatly appreciate it.

What does ASP.Net's GridView do?

Django doesn't provide any builtin UI stuff, except the templatetages.
But you could try some of the following JavaScript libraries which
inculde UI stuff:
http://jquery.com/ with http://ui.jquery.com/
http://dojotoolkit.org/
http://extjs.com/ (i think this is the best for building "desktop
like" webapps, it also includes a GridView)

I haven't seen anything like this implemented in django, and presumably
the reason for that is django lacks anything like ASP.NET's ViewState.
It's easy enough to make a table with templates, but it's not easy to
make a "control" within a page maintain its state like you can in
ASP.NET.
In my experience, though, you don't *really* need it that often. The
ViewState trick is neat for what it is, but it's rare that I have so
many controls on a page that it's unreasonable to persist their state in
the query string. Doing it that way has the added benefit of allowing
the user to copy the URL and get back to the same view.
It would probably even be possible to get most of the functionality you
want (using the query string) encapsulated in a template tag. I've
thought a couple of times about trying to do that, but haven't had
enough of a need to actually do it.

The jQuery Grid View plugin may help if you go this route: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jqGridView
