Default Data Repeater for VB.Net?

Is there a Data Repeater-type control for VB.Net? If not, how are continuous forms handled? I'm trying to implement a continuous form similar to a datagrid with a combobox on it. I've heard there is a datagrid combobox control, but that it is very buggy.

Thanks for any advice!

Check out this link from o'reilly, it tells you all about the vb.net repeater control.

Thanks, but that appears to be for ASP.NET only. Am I right in thinking that ASP.NET controls can't be used in VB.NET?

Thanks,

Joshua

Yes, you're right. The Repeater control for ASP.NET outputs HTML so it's pretty useless in a desktop / Windows Forms application.

I am not aware of any Repeater control available in the .NET framework. Maybe 3rd party vendors may come up with these kind of controls.

Meanwhile, check out the ListView control. It may not be 100% what you are looking for, but it has some interesting options.....
