So, after spending too much time tring to page a repeater, I'm considering replacing my repeaters with the listview control. Let's look at the differences:
| Supported Funcationalities |
| Control |
Paging |
Data Grouping |
Provide Flexible Layout |
Update,Delete |
Insert |
Sorting |
| ListView |

And the winner is the ListView. I understand each control has different overhead so if your sensitive to such things then perpahs it's necessary to take a closer look but for from a functionality aproach, your best bet is the ListView.
