ASP. NET Web Forms-DataList control.

The DataList control, similar to the Repeater control, is used to display the duplicate list of projects bound to the control. However, the DataList control adds tables to the Data project by default.

Bind DataSet to DataList Control

The DataList control, similar to the Repeater control, is used to display the duplicate list of projects bound to the control. However, the DataList control adds tables to the Data project by default. The DataList control can be bound to database tables, XML files, or other project lists. Here, we will demonstrate how to bind an XML file to the DataList control.

In our instance, we will use the following XML file ("cdcatalog. xml "):

Bob Dylan

USA

Columbia

10.90

1985

Bonnie Taylor

UK

CBS Records

9.90

1988

Dolly Parton

USA

RCA

9.90

1982

Gary Moore

UK

Virgin records

10.20

1990

Eros Ramazzotti

EU

BMG

9.90

1997

First, import the "System. Data" namespace. We need the namespace to work with the DataSet object. Include the following command at the top of the. aspx page:

<% @ Import Namespace = "System. Data" %>

Next, create a DataSet for the XML file and load the XML file into DataSet when the page is loaded for the first time:

Gridlines = "both" runat = "server">

My CD Catalog

"<% # Container. DataItem (" title ") %>"

<% # Container. DataItem ("artist") %>-

$ <% # Container. DataItem ("price") %>

Use Style

You can also add a style to the DataList control to make the output more fancy:

Instance

<% @ Import Namespace = "System. Data" %>

Runat = "server"

Cellpadding = "2"

Cellspacing = "2"

Borderstyle = "inset"

Backcolor = "# e8e8e8"

Width = "100%"

Headerstyle-font-name = "Verdana"

Headerstyle-font-size = "12pt"

Headerstyle-horizontalalign = "center"

Headerstyle-font-bold = "true"

Itemstyle-backcolor = "#778899"

Itemstyle-forecolor = "# ffffff"

Footerstyle-font-size = "9pt"

Footerstyle-font-italic = "true">

My CD Catalog

"<% # Container. DataItem (" title ") %>"

<% # Container. DataItem ("artist") %>-

$ <% # Container. DataItem ("price") %>

Use

You can add an element after the element to describe the appearance of the alternate line in the output. You can add a style to the area data in the DataList control:

Instance

<% @ Import Namespace = "System. Data" %>

Runat = "server"

Cellpadding = "2"

Cellspacing = "2"

Borderstyle = "inset"

Backcolor = "# e8e8e8"

Width = "100%"

Headerstyle-font-name = "Verdana"

Headerstyle-font-size = "12pt"

Headerstyle-horizontalalign = "center"

Headerstyle-font-bold = "True"

Itemstyle-backcolor = "#778899"

Itemstyle-forecolor = "# ffffff"

Alternatingitemstyle-backcolor = "# e8e8e8"

Alternatingitemstyle-forecolor = "#000000"

Footerstyle-font-size = "9pt"

Footerstyle-font-italic = "True">

My CD Catalog

"<% # Container. DataItem (" title ") %>"

<% # Container. DataItem ("artist") %>-

$ <% # Container. DataItem ("price") %>

"<% # Container. DataItem (" title ") %>"

<% # Container. DataItem ("artist") %>-

$ <% # Container. DataItem ("price") %>
