customize repeater for printing

[Fred]

Hello,

datagrids have GridLines, BorderWidth, BorderColor, ItemStyle.CssClass,
ShowFooter ... properties, which can be used to customize the way they
look when printed, how does one achieve the same effect for repeaters

(this r a few simple pages, i dont wanna use Crystal Reports or anything
like that)

TIA

If you want all that, why not use a DataGrid?

You can lead a fish to a bicycle,
but it takes a very long time,
and the bicycle has to *want* to change.

becouse it`s a lot of ready code, using repeaters, and i need to format
it for printing

I'm confused. You want to format the code, but you don't want to change it?

Okay, let me see if I can figure this out. You have a number of records that
you want to format for printing using CSS page breaks. So far so good?
You're using a Repeater Control to loop through a record set of some sort,
and put each record in HTML in the page, followed by a CSS page break. Am I
following you so far?

Now, you asked about using a DataGrid. Your exact question was:

datagrids have GridLines, BorderWidth, BorderColor, ItemStyle.CssClass,
ShowFooter ... properties, which can be used to customize the way they

Well, since a Repeater repeats whatever HTML you render inside it, and since
a DataGrid ultimately renders HTML, it shouldn't really matter what you use;
only what HTML it renders, right? So, if you don't want to use a DataGrid,
just modify the HTML output inside the Repeater accordingly.
