The data-aware DataGrid control appears similar to the Grid control; however, you can set the DataGrid control's DataSource property to a Data control so that the control is automatically filled and its column headers set automatically from a Data control's Recordset object. The DataGrid control is really a fixed collection of columns, each with an indeterminate number of rows. 
 
One is Data aware. The other isn't. 
 
AS to which one is better, that depends on what you want to achieve. Two different tools for two different jobs.
