They have many things in common like DataSource Property , DataBind Method
ItemDataBound and ItemCreated.
When you assign the DataSource Property of a Datagrid to a DataSet then each DataRow
present in the DataRow Collection of DataTable is assigned to a corresponding
DataGridItem and this is same for the rest of the two controls also.But The HTML code
generated for a Datagrid has an HTML TABLE
DataRow and its a Table form representation with Columns and Rows.
For a Datalist its an Array of Rows and based on the Template Selected and the
RepeatColumn Property value We can specify how many DataSource records should
appear per HTML < table > row. In short in datagrid we have one record per row, but in datalist we can have five or six rows per row.
For a Repeater Control,The Datarecords to be displayed depends upon the Templates
specified and the only HTML generated is the due to the Templates.
In addition to these , Datagrid has a in-built support for Sort,Filter and paging the Data ,which is not possible when using a DataList and for a Repeater Control we would require to write an explicit code to do paging.
