1. Datagrid has paging while Datalist doesnt.
2. Datalist has a property called repeat. Direction = vertical/horizontal. (This is of great help in designing layouts). This is not there in Datagrid.
3. A repeater is used when more intimate control over html generation is required.
4. When only checkboxes/radiobuttons are repeatedly served then a checkboxlist or radiobuttonlist are used as they involve fewer overheads than aDatagrid.
The Repeater repeats a chunk of HTML you write, it has the least functionality of the three. DataList is the next step up from a Repeater; accept you have very little control over the HTML that the control renders. DataList is the first of the three controls that allow you Repeat-Columns horizontally or vertically. Finally, theDataGrid is the motherload. However, instead of working on a row-by-row basis, we’re working on a column-by-column basis. DataGrid caters to sorting and has basic paging for our disposal. Again we have little contro, over the HTML.
NOTE: DataList and DataGrid both render as HTML tables by default. |
