Datagrid or repeater with pager

Hi,

I have a list up to 100 records. I can use the datagrid with the pager
functionality. But I can also use a repeater with a self made pager control.

What is the best and why?

I think the repeater is faster and at the moment I don't see any reason to
use the other functionality of the datagrid. Do I forget something
important? ... maybe the data sorting functionality.

Thanks!

Arjen,
It sounds from the context of your post that you are talking about ASP.NET
controls, so the ASP.NET groups would probably be more appropriate than the
C# language group for your post.

The answer really depends on what functionality you need. If you are happy
with your repeater and your custom paging solution, and don't need the
advanced sorting and paging / editing capabilities of the DataGrid control,
then fine.

I am very, very new to ASP.NEt and have never done ASP. I have been trying to get a datagrid to work for about 5 days with very limited results.

Hi, I'd like to have a datagrid that has a dropdownlist in the pager control for setting the page size. I can get the control into the pager inside the datagrid itemcreated event by checking for ListItemType.Pager. The problem I'm having is subscribing to the selectedindex changed event. The datagrid doesn't even seem fire an itemcommand, but that's ok, just the selectedindex changed event would do... Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi all, is it possible to set a separate style in a datagrid pager for the selected page to make it more clear for the user which page is selected? For example: page 3 is selected out of the 8 possible pages and the number 3 is then displayed in bold and with an alternate color. There's a pager style but there is no setting for the selected page. TIA
