VB Power Pack 3.0 – DataRepeater Control

I know this isn’t BI or database related, but I still enjoy checking out the development stuff from time-to-time.  The VB team has released a new Power Pack for Visual Basic and the new item that they have added is the DataRepeater control.  Very cool.  This allows you to drag-and-drop a dataset within the control and lay the data out the way you want it displayed.  You are not restricted like with a grid control.  You can put the data in a vertical or horizontal format and then in runtime the data will simply be repeated within the control for each row just like you placed it on the form. 

Check out a quick 9 minute video on it on the MSDN “How Do I” Videos site if you are interested in this new control.
