Summary:
Most of the times while creating database driven web pages like product listing, employee directory, etc. we display the data in grid format. ASP.NET has come up with Web Controls like DataGrid, DataList and Repeater that allow you to display your data in tabular format easily. Amongst the above three Web Controls the DataGrid Control is the most advanced and supports paging, templates etc. The other two controls are used in places where you need more control over the rendering of your data. The DataList and Repeater Controls have very flexible templates that give you total control over the formatting of your data, but one of the major drawbacks of these controls is that they do not support paging!!
