When to use of DataList and Repeater ?

Dear all,

I have make some basic testing on Repeater and DataList object.
I have notice for sure that if your database retrive data contains 3
records, then both controls will repeat the predifined template to display
those 3 records.

As a first view I would say that Datalist or Repeater are not so suitable as
Datagrid to display a well formed data row...

In which clear circonstance those control might be preferable compare to
datagrid ?

Hi, We are developing an asp.net application, and we dynamically created certain literal controls to represent some read-only text for certain editable controls. However, recently we found an issue which is related to the repeater. In the code shown below, if I call Repeater1.Controls.Count in the OnInit (the code fragment was highlighted in yellow) , the viewstate for the repeater will be lost during the postback. You can re-produce this...

Hi, I want to use a datalist to display the contents of a database. I want to show the database field name and the content of the field for every record returned by the select statement. For example, I have a data base the holds descriptions of people. I ask for everyone with brown hair (let's say only two people do). My database fields are: Name, hair color, eye color. I want to see: Name:

I would like to produce something like: http://redwoodestates.co.uk/forrent.aspx It's either a datalist/repeater/datagrid, but it is broken up into sections ("1 bedroom", "2 bedroom", etc...) My experience with datalists is that you can have a <SeparatorTemplate> between each row, but how do they manage to separate rows at random intervals?

I'm using ASP.net 2.0 (VWD) and I'd like to programmatically hide a DataList row based on a Repeater nested in the DataList. Specifically, if the Repeater.Items.Count = 0, I'd like the entire Datalist row to be hidden. The solutions presented within the group are all years old, and revolve around making every control in the DataList row "visible=false". This seems very code inefficient as my Datalist row contains dozens of controls.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
