Datagrid vs Gridview

In datagrid you cannot set a permisiion level........

In gridview you can do the access level............

GridView is a composite data-bound control and shares a common set of methods and properties with all other data-bound controls, including DropDownList, DetailsView, and ListBox.

GridView can render on mobile devices.

Grid view Control take care automatically deletes or updates records from the datasource.
