Hi Imar,

Sorry for my poor explanation, sometimes I struggle to get my thoughts on to paper.

I have just done the section for the ViewDetails.aspx which solves a lot of my problems I was having with the details view i mentioned above.

Would I be able to bind a list view to the ReviewID label so that all the associated comments(from the comments table) for a review would be displayed in the list view.

I have done done the database diagram and dbml linq diagram, so the comments information is available

Hope this make more sense


Thanks in advance

Hippo

Hi there,

Yes, you can do that, but you can't bind directly to an ID. Here's what should work:

1. Add a new ListView

2. Hook it up to an LinqDataSource

3. Create a QueryString parameter in the LinqDataSource that gets its value from the ReviewId

4. Use the ReviewId in the Where clause of the data source to limit comments to those of a specific Review.

The Linq or other data chapters should have more examples of this

Does this help?

Imar
