Ajax enabled sorting and paging on grid in ASP.NET 3.5

Is th开发者_StackOverflow中文版ere any good solution for ajax enabled Grid with pageing and sorting which only brings the required data from database? I mean it should only bring the data from the database which is to be displayed on the particular page number of the grid.

I looked at this. It looks good. But I just thought if anyone has created something better using Google's or Yahoo's javascript library or using any good features of asp.net 3.5.

I'm replying my own question.

I found Ajax Data Controls as updated version of what I had specified in my question. Still I will not mark it as answer and will wait for better answer.

If you are using a datasource control (SqlDataSource, LinqDataSource etc) this would be done automatically (retrieving only the current page of data). To make paging and sorting ajax-enabled wrap the grid inside an UpdatePanel control.

I used devexpress grid. It has sorting, grouping and paging. It is not perfect one but looks nice and easy to use.
