Need suggestions regarding alternative of gridview

Repeater Control can render headers,each row,footer with the exact html you specify for each row. But even a gridview can be styled to look cleaner in most cases, only that you cant prevent a table from being rendered.

<asp:Repeater ID="RepeaterSample" runat="server">
        <HeaderTemplate>
            <div id="header">
                Header</div>
        </HeaderTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>
            <div id="Oddrow">
                Custom Content</div>
        </ItemTemplate>
        <AlternatingItemTemplate>
            <div id="EvenRow">
                Custom Content</div>
        </AlternatingItemTemplate>
        <FooterTemplate>
            <div id="footer">
                Footer</div>
        </FooterTemplate>
 </asp:Repeater>

Hope it helps.
