Important question to professionals about MVC

Question

Hello, All,

I am new in MVC but it look strange for me in comparisone with ASP.NET.
Maybe my question is stupid and does not contain any sence but:

Here is an example of markup from standard MVC example (I think all of you know it).

<% foreach (var item in Model) { %>
<tr>
<td>
<%= Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.DinnerId }) %> |
<%= Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.DinnerId })%>
</td>
<td>
<%= Html.Encode(item.DinnerId) %>
</td>
<td>
<%= Html.Encode(item.Title) %>
</td>
<td>
<%= Html.Encode(String.Format("{0:g}", item.EventDate)) %>
</td>
<td>
<%= Html.Encode(item.Description) %>
</td>
<td>
<%= Html.Encode(item.HostedBy) %>
</td>
</tr>
<% } %>

Why <asp:Repeater /> was not used here?

Is it a proper and good way to show data in MVC?

If so, please describe me why.

 

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Because a repeater is a server control and MVC doesn't use them.
