Editable web data grid for ASP.NET

A customer asked me for a web app, written in ASP.NET, that can use an editable grid 开发者_如何转开发(that works with a SqlServer DB) in a similar manner as Excel works. I can use gridView with Edit link in every row but I wanted to know if there are better solutions (possibly free) that I can use.

Thanks in advance!

We have recently started using the ASPxGridView from Devexpress. It seems very good, especially for large datasets.

It is not like Excel, as such, but it does allow add/edit/delete from within the control and supports SQL Server.
