The grid control for ASP.NET MVC is an efficient display engine for tabular data. It will pull from a datasource, such as List of collections, OData web services, or DataManager, binding data fields to columns and displaying a column header to identify the field.
There is no viewstate and postback in ASP.NET MVC, so most of server controls will not work. There is set of MVC server controls in ASP.NET MVC RC that don't use postback nor viewstate and so they work fine.
We have been using jqGrid on a project and have had some good luck with it. Lots of options for inline editing, etc. If that stuff isn't necessary, then we've just used a plain foreach loop like @Hrvoje.
We use Slick Grid in Stack Exchange Data Explorer (example containing 2000 rows).
I found it outperforms jqGrid and flexigrid. It has a very complete feature set and I could not recommend it enough.
Samples of its usage are here.
You can see source samples on how it is integrated to an ASP.NET MVC app here: https://code.google.com/p/stack-exchange-data-explorer/
We have just rolled our own due to limited functionality requirements on our grids. We use some JQuery here and there for some niceties like pagination and that is all we really need.
If you need something a little more fully featured you could check out ExtJs grids here.
Also MvcContrib has a grid implementation that you could check out - try here. Or more specifically here.
I just discovered Telerik has some great components, including Grid, and they are open source too. http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/
