ASP.NET table gridlines property not working?

Question

I am trying to get an asp.net table to show gridlines after an sql query is ran and data is put into the table. I have now tried to set a default title row to see if the gridlines would even appear and they have not.

Here is my table markup:

    <asp:Table ID="Table1" runat="server" ForeColor="Black" GridLines="Both" Height="330px" Width="950px">
    <asp:TableRow runat="server" BackColor="White" BorderColor="White" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="5px" Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="X-Small" ForeColor="#993399" HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Top">
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">Customer ID</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">Business Name</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">City</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">State</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">Phone</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">Email</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">Registered</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">Approved</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">Last Contacted</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">Logger</asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell runat="server">Responded</asp:TableCell>
    </asp:TableRow>

So, how can I get grid lines to show on my asp.net table?

I forgot to add that I have tried using just vertical and just horizontal gridlines. In my example above, I use "both". — Feign

I've never used a GridView... Looks exactly like what I want. Thanks Garrison! — Feign

You'll love all of the built-in functionality the GridView provides. Good luck! — Garrison Neely

BorderColor property should make them visible. Since the background is white, try setting the the BorderColor to Black.

Nothing changed when i changed borderColor to black. I also tried this with some borderStyles and different BackColors.

Hmm, it worked for me in VS 2010 before posting this. Looks like you found the GridView though! Good luck!

Not sure what was going on... Thanks, though!

You need to set Border=1 in your table tag.

Hey there, you're probably right, but this problem is 8 years old and I probably won't go back to verify this :p
