dropdown list with datalist
Hello every member of forum,
I am dealing with webshop application. Till now I've learned more about it. But now one thing that I want to modify is using DropDown list with Datalist control on Shop/Default.aspx page. Because using repeater for this case seems very messive and will take a lot of space on the page.
So can anybody guide about using dropdownlist control with datalist control.
Thanks..........

Hi there,
First of all I don't understand what you're asking. When posting questions, please be specific and provide as much information as possible.
Secondly, why would a DataList be cleaner? Out of the data bound controls the Repeater is the only control that doesn't generate HTML itself and as such is the cleanest control when it comes to presenting HTML in the browser.
Cheers,
Imar

You don't bind dropdownlist items to the datalist control. Both these controls are data-bound controls. To get data in these controls, you need to use a DataSource control like the SqlDataSource or the ObjectDataSource control, just as is done with the Repeater in the shop page.
Man, this would be so much easier if you had a book....
