html/asp Table

[DP196]

Hi All, I am new to asp.net and in the process of creating a webpage.

I need to create a table in the code behind to display a string and an integer value( in the form of progress bar) in a table.

Job Progress

job1 progress bar........ 20%
job2 progress bar....... 30% etc

I have managed to create this using a function
[code]
StringBuilder DisplayProgress() {

StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder;

str.Append("<table><tr><td>>..") etc



}

In the webpage

<div runat="server" id="ProgressTable"><%=DisplayProgress() %></div>


[code]

My question here is
1. Is this the efficient way to create a table...or should i use <asp:table>, or using Table class.
2. Will there be any set back using it this way?

Thanks
DP

yes this is efficient and .net has its own optimization techniques which are in background while compiling to msil code and then when it is interpreted.

I think that it is the best optimized way of creating table in Asp.net.
