Building your own web controls

Well it's kind of a newbie question but I think lots of people have problems with this.

I'm developing Windows/web application for fun, and installing them at friends' places. Most of my developing concentrates on the CRM system, but I have a big problem with showing data from DB in better, more effective and lighter ways.

Using Microsoft built-in web controls is a nice and easy way, but it doesn't answer my needs, and worse, it's not that effective as other web controls in great software and websites(Google(lol)).

I want to build my own controls(GridView, etc...). So my question is how can I do this myself?

How does Microsoft build their web controls for both web and Windows Form developing?

Thanks!

Well, this can be answered several ways. Most of the nice controls are doing a lot of Javascript that is not obvious unless you look at the output. You might be interested in using JQuery plugins (or "controls"). Also, to be honest, you might be interested in persuing a new way of doing ASP.NET, which is called ASP.NET MVC. This is a very good way forward of building Web applications that utilize a lot of Web standard technologies without hiding and obscuring the details. Here's a link to that:

And here's an older reference, but probably a better place to start.

And finally.... If you want to develop custom controls for Windows Forms applications...
