All three provide the following features.

Feature	Repeater	DataList	GridView
Edit Data	-	X	X
Create Data	-	-	X¹
Select/Edit/Delete	-	X	X
Table layout	-	X²	X
Flow layout	X	X	-
Column layout	-	X	-
Style properties	-	X	X
Sorting	-	-	X
Paging	-	-	X

Data can be created with the GridView control by using the GridViewExtender class, available here.
The table layout is not an intrinsic part of the DataList control, but rather must be coded manually.
