Repeater Vs Datagrid

[Guest]

Hi All

For one page I want to implement sortng as well as paging. Curretly that page is using datagrid for data binding and sorting. Datagrid supports attributes like sortexpression and sort order to provide sorting very easily. is there any thing supported by repeater. Also for repeater I have one paging repeater class ready with me. So, i vcan simply derive a class from it and implement things

But, what i want to know is which one is better keeping into mind the performance? datagrid also supports paging. but, i suppose it will fetch all the records only to sow 25 out of it. So, can anyone please guide me on this for points like performance, less developement time etc..

You might want to try the DataList its not as heavy as a grid and gives you
some sorting facilites not in the repeater
