Data Source in ASP.NET 2.0 Verses System.Forms

I must be missing somthing ....

The new form designer in VS 2005 allows for drag and drop of compnents
from the data sources tab. With this functionality one can almost
'magicly' create standard windows form CRUD apps from Object or Web
Service Binding just by dranging and droping the 'Details' of the
binding source.

Is this same functionality not present in ASP.NET or am I missing
somthing?

I am not sure if i understand what you mean because i have never developed
windows forms aplications, but you can pretty much use drag and drop to
create datasources and populate grids and stuff. To create a simple grdiview
of an SQL server table, drag and drop an SQLDataSource control onto the page
in design view, click on the little arrow in the top left corner and select
configure datasource. It will then run a wizard to create your queries,
(without having to do any SQL). Then drag a gridview onto the page in design
view, click the little arrow on the gridview and select the datasource that
you just create from the drop down menu. The more complex you want to get
the more you have to do, but you can do some quite complex stuff without
having to write any actual code, just markup.
