What kind of server control and format should I use? (newbie)

I am creating a simple UFC fan page to try and learn ASP.NET but I am veru new to grids, listview, etc;

I would like to have a page that displays the following:

Code:

                        UFC XXX 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fighter A | Country (img) | vs | Fighter B | Country (img) | 
Fighter A | Country (img) | vs | Fighter B | Country (img) | 
Fighter A | Country (img) | vs | Fighter B | Country (img) | 
.....                                                             
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I store the fighters names and a link to pic of their home country's flag in the database so I figured I would try to put a table inside a grid so I could separate each column in and add a column to place the text "vs" inside. I don't think I am doing it correctly though.

I would like both the Fighter Name and Fighter Country Icon to be links so I was wondering what would be the best way to go about this? If I can get a server control to accomplish this then I could easily do it for the events themselves and the fighters themselves.

Thanks.

Hi there,

You may want to use a ListView instead as it gives you full control over the template. This way, you can easily accomplish this setup. You can then use a HyperLink control for the Name and Country fields.

Cheers,
