The Repeater control is a data-bound control. It uses templates to display data. It lacks the built-in support for paging, editing and sorting. The Repeater control may be bound to a database table, and an XML file. In this control, the content and layout of list items is defined using Templates. Every Repeater must define an ItemTemplate.
Templates:
There are 5 templates available for a Repeater:
1. Header Template2. ItemTemplate3. AlternatingItemTemplate4. SeparatorTemplate
5. FooterTemplateLet me discuss these templates in details:

HeaderTemplate: It is used to specify an optional header row. It is used to determine the content and layout of the list header.
ItemTemplate :It is used to define the content and layout of items within the list.AlternatingItemTemplate: This template is used for elements that are rendered every second row of data. This allows you to alternate background colors.
SeparatorTemplate: The SeparatorTemplate is rendered between each row.FooterTemplate: It is used to specify an optional footer row. It is used to determine the content and layout of the list footer.
All these 5 templates will be placed within the Repeater .

Pagination in Repeater:

Repeater doesn’t support Paging directly. But we can implement Paging in Repeater by using PagedDataSource.

PagedDataSource:
This class comes from the System.Data.Web.UI.WebControls namespace, so we need not import any additional namespace to the page.

This class encapsulates the paging related properties of a data-bound control.
Few properties of PagedDataSource class are as follows:

1. PageSize - This property defines how many records are displayed on a page and it takes an integer (by default it's set at 10).
2. AllowPaging - This property determines whether the paging should be turned on or off (Boolean "true" or "false"). By default it is set to "false".
3. CurrentPageIndex - This gets/sets the current page number. By default it returns 0.
4. PageCount - Returns the total number of pages that are available.
5. DataSource - The value of this property will be the source of the data which we want to page.
6. IsFirstPage - Returns "true" or "false". It depends on whether the current page is the first page in the series.
7. IsLastPage -- Returns "true" or "false". It depends on whether the current page is the last page in the series.

Connection Object and Property Decleration follows:

Here I have created an instance of the PagedDataSource class. In the next line, I had set the DataSource In the following line the AllowPaging property is to "true". And on the next line the PageSize property is set to 3.
