This class provides a powerful object model for creating HTML tables. It is similar to, but more abstract than, the System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTable class. It also allows ASP.NET to optimize rendering for both down-level and up-level browsers. You can use it to dynamically generate an HTML table by adding TableRow objects to the Rows collection and adding TableCell objects to each row. Note that if you create or modify a table's structure programmatically, these changes will not be preserved across postbacks and you will have to reconstruct them manually; table rows and cells are controls of their own, not properties of Table.
Most other properties for the Table class correspond to formatting options, including a background image (BackImageUrl), alignment (HorizontalAlign), gridlines (GridLines), the spacing between cells (CellSpacing), and the spacing between cell borders and content (CellPadding).
This class is often used by control developers, while the DataGrid and DataList controls are preferred for ASP.NET applications, particularly if data binding is required.
