Randy,

   I would say that the DataList web control is more like the ListBox
control and the GridView is more like the DataGridView.

   As for scrollbars on the GridView, the container is responsible for
them, meaning, if you place a grid on a page, then the browser is going to
activate the scrollbars depending on the size of the page and the size of
the browser.  If you want control over this, then I would suggest placing
your grid in an IFrame element on the page.
