Deciding When to Use the DataGrid, DataList or Repeater

Wednesday, August 6, 2003

.NET

Good article from MSDN by Scott Mitchell on the performances differences between our three data realted objects.

Indeed no surprise Repeater is the best method but not so faster than the Datalist.
The only 'little' problem with the Repeater is it's lack of style :-)

I just wonder what's about the new promising Datasource in Whidbey ?

Actually, lack of style can be great...nothing to get in the way.

.Text uses all repeaters...no datagrids/datalists were hurt in the making of this blog (...well, maybe in the admin :D)

Yes Scott but maybe for weblogs, not for websites, users still like colors and the headers and footers different styles.

BTW, I forget also the lack of pagination in a repeater.
