I use Asp.net 4 and C#.

I’m developing a simple CMS, at the moment I want to displays the content for a specific PAGE (Title, BodyContent, and some other fields) at the end user on a web page (like as this website display its questions to its Users).

I need wrap my fields from database in appropriate HTML TAGS example <h1>Title</h1> <div>BodyContent</div>.

The resulting page should be READ ONLY .

I would like to know:

  1. If a ListView web control with setting for a single row would be the
    right choice (maybe binded with ObjectDataSource).
  2. If would be better use separate Web Controls like Literals or
    Labels to displays my fields sparsely on my webpage
  3. In case of previous point how would I DataBind every single Control? Using different DataBinder or maybe with Linq an projecting using Anonymous Type.

I’m mainly concerned with read-only performance.

    If you have data that’s a single row, there’s not much point in using a ListView. They’re designed for showing lists of data (hence the name). If you have one item, consider either a DetailsView or single Labels.

    If you have a particular class that often needs to be displayed in a certain way, consider setting up a Web User Control that can be bound to instances of that class.
