Demonstrates

This sample uses multiple DataRepeater controls to present weather forecast data in a format similar to what you might find on a Web site.

The DrawItem event is used to demonstrate how to customize the display of individual items, displaying or hiding fields depending on their values at run time. The DrawItem event is also used on Form2 to demonstrate how to display alternating background colors.

The LayoutStyle property is used on Form1 to demonstrate how to display a DataRepeater in both a vertical and horizontal orientation.
