data repeater position****resolved*****

[Halon]

Anybody know if you can set the position of a datarepeater on an asp.net page. It seems to be bound to the top left corner and will not allow itself to be moved.

I can switch to html view, add a style property to the repeater and it moves it in design view but this throws an error once run.

Any tips or ideas?

Thanks

Are you in flow layout or gridlayout?

Might be able to use div tags to position it.

not sure of the difference. I am in the default for the IDE if that helps.

Sorry, found it in the Document properties ... I am in grid layout. Will try some stuff in flow and get back to you.

You can't customize the position of it because all it does is give you back data from the datasource. It is your job to present that data. Like if you have an ordered list, you would put the ol tag above the datareapeater control, then use the datarepeater control to create list items (li). Then after the list, you would close the ol tag.

I hope that makes sense. A good book on the data controls for ASP.Net is the ASP.NET Data Web Controls Kick Start:

I think it is worth it.
