You can't always make all of your data retrieval decisions at design time -- sometimes you have to wait for the user to tell you what data to get. Peter shows you how to work with a DataSource to retrieve data dynamically at runtime.
The FileUpload control and the ASP.NET Response object let you move files between the browser and the server. And moving in each direction just requires a few lines of code.
The MultiView control allows you to swap sets of controls on and off the page. But the MultiView control also makes it easier for you to generate new page content and add it at run time.
By converting composite controls into their templates, you gain full control over the makeup of the control and individual controls within it.

Sorting in the GridView is simple to implement, as long as you want simple sorting. For more complex sorts you have to take control of the Sorting event.
Peter returns to .NET RIA Services to look at the client side of creating an application.
The ASP.NET-related portions of .NET RIA Services aren't ready for primetime yet, but now's a good time to start kicking the tires.
