Let me give you some background that might explain my question better.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>My questions are:</p> <p>1. Why is asp:repeater not used, and these other forms of data presentation are? Whats the difference?</p> <p>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.</p> 2010-04-01T16:44:05-04:003762983http://forums.asp.net/p/1542812/3762983.aspx/1?Re+How+does+DataList+work+ <p>Read this:</p> <p><a href="http://forums.asp.net/t/1072020.aspx">http://forums.asp.net/t/1072020.aspx</a>&nbsp;</p> 2010-04-01T17:04:25-04:003763001http://forums.asp.net/p/1542812/3763001.aspx/1?Re+How+does+DataList+work+ <p></p> <blockquote><span class="icon-blockquote"></span> <h4>ksugihara</h4> So I was wondering how Datalist worked.</blockquote> <p></p> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.datalist.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.datalist.aspx</a><br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p><a href="http://www.codedigest.com/Articles/ASPNET/239_Choosing_the_Right_DataBound_Control_in_ASPNet.aspx">Choosing the right databound control</a></p> <p><br> </p> <p><br> </p> 2010-04-01T17:15:47-04:003763006http://forums.asp.net/p/1542812/3763006.aspx/1?Re+How+does+DataList+work+ <p><a href="http://www.w3schools.com/ASPNET/aspnet_datalist.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/ASPNET/aspnet_datalist.asp</a></p> <p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/732474/asp-net-datalist-bind-array-of-aspx-imageurls">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/732474/asp-net-datalist-bind-array-of-aspx-imageurls</a>&nbsp;</p> 2010-04-01T17:21:00-04:003763074http://forums.asp.net/p/1542812/3763074.aspx/1?Re+How+does+DataList+work+ <p>Hi,</p> <p>look at this pages:</p> <p><a href="http://tim.oreilly.com/pub/a/dotnet/2003/03/10/datalist.html">http://tim.oreilly.com/pub/a/dotnet/2003/03/10/datalist.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/d89d1d96-03f1-4784-bbb2-a3db1af393f5/aspnet-datalist-and-data.aspx">http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/d89d1d96-03f1-4784-bbb2-a3db1af393f5/aspnet-datalist-and-data.aspx</a></p> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301328.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301328.aspx</a></p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Robert</p> 2010-04-01T18:19:13-04:00
