Here the id you choose will be the name of the DataGrid you'll use when referring to it in your server-side code. The syntax above gets us started using a DataGrid by placing it in the HTML content, but in order to have the DataGrid display anything useful we need to bind the DataGrid to some collection of information. This collection of information can be any object that supports the IEnumerable interface. This includes things like Arrays, collection classes (ArrayList, Hashtable, etc.), DataSets, DataReaders, and a number of other objects.
