You can do this using a GridView, but you'll produce quite a lot of code if you have many columns.

First make all columns in the GridView TemplateFields. In my sample I will use just one column. Like so:

Then in your code behind for the Save button you can iterate over the rows in the GridView:

foreach (GridViewRow gvRow in test.Rows)
{
    string val = ((TextBox)gvRow.FindControl("FooText")).Text;
    
    //do something with all the values you have parsed from the row
}
