Comparison Datagrid,Datalist& Repeater

Both the DataGrid and DataList controls are derived from the WebControl class,

while the Repeater control is derived from the Control class.

The WebControl class contains a number of aesthetic properties, such as BackColor, ForeColor, CssClass, BorderStyle and so on. This means that with the DataGrid and DataList you can specify stylistic settings through the properties it inherits from the WebControl class. The Repeater, however, does not have any such stylistic properties. As we'll discuss in the "Digging Into the Repeater" section, any visual settings to the Repeater's output must be specified in the Repeater's templates.
