Chris Just off the top of my head, but .net 2.0 offers the new GridView web control and most output I have tested in .net 2.0 has been compliant markup, if a little verbose. The DataGrid was a web control offered as part of .net 1.x and has now been replaced by the GridView. Most of the enhancements are to do with easier databinding routines and the the new declarative datasource controls.
What issues with table markup does your client think they have? The data returned to a databound control is ideal for presentation on a tabular format. It is, after all a table of data that is being diplayed. If you have issues with the DataGrid, why not grab back control of the output in a Repeater control. There are even scripts that will allow paging with the repeater. Check out 4guysfromrolla or msdn. I wouldn't like to script sorting on columns however.

According to my client this component has issues with <td> & <th> elements.
