My first aritcle (of seven) for Microsoft's MSDN Web site's ASP.NET section is now live. Titled Deciding When to Use the DataGrid, DataList or Repeater, this article examines the differences and similarities among the three data Web controls, and discusses when you would want to use each. To help ascertain what control is the best, the article outlines three metrics to consider:
- Usability, from the end-user's perspective,
- Development time required for implementation, and
- Performance
I've got a really cool article coming up soon on the ASP.NET section on building an online RSS aggregator using ASP.NET, XML, and XSLT.
