Is there an object-compatible alternative to asp: ListView?

Is there an object-compatible alternative to the asp: ListView control included with ASP.NET 3.5? Due to some recent releases with a specific hosting provider of Service Pack 1 installed, I'm looking for a temporary stand for the ListView that can be dropped into place with minimal changes to the rest of my code.

One simple alternative is to use a repeater. Are there any major issues downgrading a ListView to a relay that I need to be aware of?

You will lose 2 things:

  • ListViews templates are provided. You will have to use the HeaderTemplate, ItemTemplate, FooterTemplate relay layout, which is pretty ugly.
  • Repeaters, once associated, forget the data that was associated with them. If you are using a list of DataKeyNames this kind is big. Parsing repeater elements is less fun.


You can get around both of these, so it's not a huge deal, but still worth considering. Repeater is the best alternative to ListView though, since ListView was designed as an upgrade to repeater.
