Inline Editing Using jQuery and Ajax in Repeater control

Repeater control is one of the light weight control when compared to the other databound controls. It provides more flexibility on the layout of data displayed and the control itself will not render any additional HTML like GridView and DataList control do. It only renders the HTML we specified in the template columns which makes it light weight when compared to other controls. Repeater control as such will not provide edit/update functionalities for the data. In this article, we will overcome this difficulty and provide an edit update feature similar to GridView control using the powerful jQuery library and Ajax.
