[RESOLVED] ListView question

[usamaalam]

Hello Everybody,

I have three ListView controls showing data correctly. They show data from some table called "classes", each class comes in a category.

Now I need to show the data category-wise. How can I repeat these three ListView controls so that if there are three categories then it should show three times totalling to 9 ListView controls? Also how can I match the categoryid from category and classes table so that it should show data category-wise? Is there any control we can use as parent and take three list views in it?

Thanks.

Hey,

I am not sure that I fully understand exactly what you are getting at, perhaps a diagram would help describe your situation.

As a general answer, I think a Repeater control would be a good fit.

A repeater with a listview in its ItemTemplate.

You'll need to handle the DataBound event, in there, look at the e.Item.DataItem, which will be the 'main' category you're binding it to, and bind your listviews within that event. I think that's what you're getting at.
