Is Paging only avaliable in DataGrid?
Is Paging only avaliable in DataGrid?
Is paging possible in Repeater or DataList?
DataGrid seems to be the more powerful of the three. Because it has extra bells and whistles, does DataGrid need more memory than Repeater or DataList?????
I hope this is not a stupid question.

It's not a stupid question; just the DataGrid supports paging natively.
However, you can enable paging on the other two data bound controls using a PagedDatatSource object. The following article shows you an simple, yet very effective example:

I am also curious to know if using a datagrid incurs a significant amount of overhead compared to the DataList. I would think that the datagrid has more overhead, but is it really a performance factor?

Yes, AFAIK, the DataGrid consumes more resources. It's a bigger class with more functionality, so I can imagine it takes more time to load and instantiate an objet of type DataGrid.
However, I wonder how much you really notice this on modern system. Personally, I wouldn't very easily choose another data control for performance reasons, but for functionality reasons. The DataGrid can do some stuff the other controls can't, but the opposite is also true. There are times where you must use the Repeater to get absolute control over the output, and you're forced to write the "missing functionality", like paging, yourself.

Hi Bekim,
Sorry for the late response. I have been pretty busy lately.
Take a look at this C# to VB.NET converter: http://www.kamalpatel.net/ConvertCSharp2VB.aspx
I did a quick check with the code from the article, and I think it will convert it correctly.....
Cheers,
Imar
