Prabhu Raja · Answer

he ASP.NET DataList Control The DataList control like the Repeater control is a template driven, light weight control, and acts as a container of repeated data items. The templates in this control are used to define the data that it will contain. It is flexible in the sense that you can easily customize the display of one or more records that are displayed in the control. You have a property in the DataList control called RepeatDirection that can be used to customize the layout of the control. DataTable : The DataTable is an in-memory representation of a block of data. We can create our own tables in code using a DataSet and the types defined in the System.Data.OleDb or System.Data.SqlClient namespaces. The following are the core properties that are used while creating a DataTable. CaseSensitive: Indicates whether string comparisons in the table are case-sensitive or not. ChildRelations: Returns the collection of child relations of the DataTable (if any). Columns: Returns the collection of columns that belong to this table. Constraints: Gets the constraints maintained by this table. DataSet: Gets the dataset that contains this table. DefaultView: Gets a customized view of the table that may include a filtered view or a cursor position. MinimumCapacity: Gets/Sets the initial number of rows in the table. ParentRelations: Gets the collection of parent relations for this table. PrimaryKey: Gets/Sets a primary key for the table. Rows: Returns the collection of rows that belong to this table. TableName: Gets/Sets the name of the table. ------------------------------------------------------------------- If this post helps you, then mark as "Correct Answer" Thank You

Datalist:->The DataList control is, like the Repeater control, used to display a repeated list of items that are bound to the control. However, the DataList control adds a table around the data items by default. Datatable:->use to storing temporary data. & Adding, Modifying, Deleting, Filtering, Sorting rows & Reading/Writing from/to Xml

DataTable is a class available all across .NET technologies such as Windows Forms, and ASP.NET. It is not a control available in the Standard Toolbox, but if you add a DataSet item to your project, you can see it on the DataSet tab of the Toolbox. Its purpose is basically to hold data in the DataSet. A single DataSet can contain multiple data tables. DataList is exclusive to ASP.NET. It is a control available in the Toolbox. It is a databound control and displays data using templates.
