I have a class in another project called Order.ErrorDescription which is an arraylist. eStr returns a set of errors i.e. if a user entered the email address wrong then a message is displayed, if the telephone number entered is in the wrong format then a different error message appears. However, i would like to display that information in a neat and presentable format on my webform and that is why i thought of using a repeater. Can someone please help me with the right format? Currently it only returns the email error even if there are other errors.

aspx.vb
Order.ValidateValues = False

        Dim errStr As String


        If Not Order.Validate() Then

            For Each eStr As String In Order.ErrorDescription

                errStr = (eStr & "<BR>")
                Repeater1.DataSource = (errStr)

                Repeater1.DataBind()
            Next
        End If


aspx:
<TR>
<TD><asp:repeater id="Repeater1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Container.DataItem %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>
</TD>
</TR>

You're missing the point of the repeater. The repeater repeats a template for each item in your enumerable object. It does the for-each for you. Try this:

aspx.vb:
Order.ValidateValues = False

If Not Order.Validate() Then
    Repeater1.DataSource = Order.ErrorDescription
    Repeater1.DataBind()
End If

aspx:
<TR>
<TD><asp:repeater id="Repeater1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Container.DataItem %><br>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>
</TD>
</TR>
