Using the Repeater as the out-of-box controls

Usually when you want to create some kind of listing of data, with items that can be added, updated and deleted, you can use the out-of-box GridView control altogheter with FormView, ListView and DetailsView controls.
Since you almost don't need to write any code at all, these controls works fine for doing quick solutions with non-complicated data, (like fetching data from one table).
But when it comes to more complicated data structures it becomes more difficult to maintain these controls.
In these situations it is recommended to have more control, by knowing what is going on under the hood. This is where the Repeater control comes in handy.

In the following six upcoming posts I will show you how to use the Repeater control to establish almost the same things as you can do with the out-of-box controls plus a little more.

Here are the following parts that will be described:

1. Simple Repeater

2. Add, edit and delete Repeater

3. Multi-Row update Repeater

4. Sorting Repeater

5. Paging Repeater

6. All-In-One Repeater

In the next post we will go through the Simple Repeater.
