The QueryRepeater control is inherited from the BasicRepeater control. It automatically ensures data binding. Moreover, it allows you to specify query, ORDER BY clause and the WHERE condition and it ensures displaying data without any additional code.
QueryRepeater can be only used with pre-defined queries stored in the document type configuration.
If you want to display only data from particular part of the content tree, please use CMSRepeater instead.
