Datagrid or repeater with pager

[Arjen]

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.
