So I was wondering how Datalist worked... Let me give you some background that might explain my question better.
Currently, I have a PHP application that uses a custom templating engine, that works similar to that of asp:repeater. While exploring ASP.Net, I found that for the most part, asp:repeater is old technology, and most developers utilize Datalist or Datagrid,
or some other form of data presentation.
My questions are:
1. Why is asp:repeater not used, and these other forms of data presentation are? Whats the difference?
2. What is the logic behind these other data presentation forms? I'd like to see if I can implement this into my PHP tempting engine.
