What are the benefits of using a datagrid vs repeater vs ListView control (asp.net 3.5)?
Or when would you use one and not the other?
Thanks

ListView gives you near-total control over the markup and look of the data. Use this if you need or want a specific layout
GridViews/DataGrid are designed to display information in a tabular format. Use these if your data lends itself to being displayed as a table.
This article discusses why the ListView is superior to the Repeater control.
