When we use repeater control in asp.net

Question

Hi When we use repeater control in asp.net ?

Andrew Fenster · Answer

You use it when you have a list of things to display and you want to display them in some format other than a simple grid. Suppose you have a list of employees with name address phone email and you want to display them in some format other than a grid. The repeater lets you define a template. For example you might display: Name Address Email Phone or Name (Title) Address Phone / Email The repeater lets you define a layout for each record and then bind a list of records to it. You can add controls if you want. For example you could make the email editable by putting it in a text box. The repeater can be very handy.
