Explanation:
In ASP .NET basically there are three kinds of the Data
Presentation Controls.


GridView (or DataGrid)
DataList
Repeater


When we talk about usage of one Data Presentation Controls
then many of us get confused about choosing one. When you
need to use one of the data Presentation Control then You
have to see what kind of behavior you need in your Data
Display.


Do you want to show Data in many Pages or in one page?
Do you have to Display more then one column in a Row ?

Do you want to have a Row repeating Possibility?

Will users be able to update, Insert and delete the Data?

Repeater Control, Datalist Control and GridView Control.

Answer / mahendra

DataGrid and DataList controls are derived from the WebControl class, while the Repeater control is derived from the Control class. The WebControl class contains a number of aesthetic properties, such as BackColor, ForeColor, CssClass, BorderStyle and so on.

Answer / trimurthy

1.we are selecting ,updating from database in gridview and
also insering by using footer row and paging in gridview.
2we are create multiple column table,where each cell is a
separate record in data list.
3.It does not support selection and editing in repeater.

Answer / nitish

1. Datagrid has paging while Datalist doesnt.
2. Datalist has a property called repeat.
Direction=vertical/horizontal.(This is of great help in
designing layouts). This is not there in Datagrid.
3. A repeater is used when more intimate control over html
generation is required.
4. When only checkboxes/radiobuttons are repeatedly served
then a checkboxlist or radiobuttonlist are used as they
involve fewer overheads than a Datagrid.

Answer / vikas

GridView provides ability to allow the end-user to edit the page data or sort the page records. But it comes at a cost of speed. Secondly, the display format is very simple i.e. is in row and columns.
With its templates, DataList provides more control over the look and feel of the displayed data than the GridView. And it offers better performance than GridView.
With Repeater, the only HTML emitted are the values of the databinding statements in the templates along with the HTML markup specified in the templates—no "extra" HTML is emitted, as with the Gridview and DataList.

Answer / venkatrami reddy

Gridview:
gridview is a collection of templates like header, bounded,edit ,item ,hyperlink,image fields.using this gridview control we can perform all most all database realations.
Datalist:
datalist is a collection of header template,edit item template,item template and footer templates.By using this control we can select and edit the data.
repeater:
Repeater is a collection of item template,header template and footer template.by comparing the repeater and datalist, in case of performance we prefer to repeater control.
