Based on my experience, Repeater , DataList and GridView are all used to display data. But GridView is
more advance than DataList and DataList is more advance than Repeater.
As to the difference between Repeater and DataList, DataList has design time support and Repeater does not has.

The difference between Repeater and DataList?
May 03, 2008 11:24 PM|LINK
What is the difference? They have same properties, methods etc.
The only difference I noticed is in the HTML output: DataList wraps around table and Repeater doesn't. (Framework 2.0, browsers: IE6, FF2, Opera9)
Are there other significant differences?

Sorry, that was not the answer. I understand the concept of Datagrid and it's much different than DataList or Repeater.
My question was the difference between DataList and Repeater

Datalist renndering output[html content]will be slow compare with repeater.
If the requirement can achieve using repeater and datalist,choose repeater for better performance.
