Using the DataList Control
The DataList control, like the Repeater control, is template driven. Unlike the Repeater control, by default, the DataList renders an HTML table. Because the DataList uses a particular layout to render its content, you are provided with more formatting options when using the DataList control.
In this section, you learn how to use the DataList control to display data. You also learn how to render database records in both single-column and multicolumn HTML tables. We also explore how you can edit data with the DataList control.
