Datarepeater

[Guest]

Hi, NG!
Is there any updated version (.Net) of the Datarepeater control or do I have
to use the old (VS6.0) version?
Thanks.

How about the repeater control? Did you really have to cross-post this
question? A simple Google search on ".net repeater" yields what you are
looking for.

Thanks a lot, wise guy. As there was no 'professional' answer on any of the
groups where I have cross-posted, I did search on Google. It took me a while
but now it's clear. There is no dotNet version of the Datarepeater control.
The Repeater control is a brand new control, available only in Webforms. As
there was no way to use the Datarepeater on the web, your kind answer that
points to the Repeater is useless. But thanks anyway.
I did cross-post since it is my opinion that MS should have provided that
information in a discontinued controls list or something.
These docs should have contained this kind of information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...grflanguageequivalentsprogrammableobjects.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...n/html/vbconControlChangesInVisualBasic70.asp

The solution could be the Datagrid.



Thanks.

If you have a gripe with Microsoft's documentation, there are several ways
to submit corrections and suggestions to Microsoft.

Cross-posting to unrelated newsgroups is not considered good netiquette.
I'm sorry if you find my answer "wise", but I think you will find that many
here would find your question and the manner in which you posted it
inappropriate.

While we are happy to help where we can...it is reasonable to expect that
the question asker will take some responsibility and some initiative for
finding the answer on their own. Asking "Is there any updated version
(.Net) of the Datarepeater control or do I have to use the old (VS6.0)
version?" sounds a lot to me like you haven't even tried to examine this
issue on your own. Cross-posting it to every .NET NG you can find is not
necessary and considered rude.

Well, yes actually, there is. It is the Repeater control I pointed you to
in the first place.

As there was no way to use the Datarepeater on the web, your kind answer
that
points to the Repeater is useless.

Again, I will refer you to my earlier comments since the Repeater control
(which is the .NET version of a DataRepeater) is indeed available for use on
the web and (oh, by the way), you didn't mention anything in your post about
a preference for client vs. server architecture. I apologize for not
reading your mind.

I'm not sure why it took you such a long time to find what you wanted on
Google as the very first link that comes back from a Google search on ".net
repeater" (as I stated earlier) yields the information you are looking for.
