Hey, dust!
Hope you've been doing well...
The short answer is that the gridview has built-in control for sorting and paging where the datagrid required three poodles, a ring of fire and the sacrifice of a small child to get it to do those "routine" tasks.
For a more detailed accounting of the differences, take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues...
From personal experience, the gridview is more flexible, but it still carries a lot of "weight" as a trade-off for that flexibility. I've been doing a lot more with repeaters because they're smaller in overhead and still offer a good portion of the features a gridview has...unless I'm going to do sorting or paging. Then, mostly for the ease with the built-in features, I'm using the gridview.
Hope this helps!
Ric

thanks for your input Ric, i can relate well to the ring of fire :)
i somehow thought there was "more" to it, but then again, having sorting and paging integrated and better than the datagrid is a good deal also...
here's the points...
