The Repeater is a basic templated data-bound list. It has no built-in layout or styles, so you must explicitly declare all HTML layout, formatting, and style tags within the control's templates.
The Repeater is the only control that allows the developers to split HTML tags across the templates. To create a table using templates, include the begin table tag (<table>) in the HeaderTemplate, a single table row tag (<tr>) in the ItemTemplate, and the end table tag (</table>) in the FooterTemplate.
The Repeater has no built-in selection or editing support. The user may use the ItemCommand event to process control events that are raised from the templates to the control.
