DataList and Table

I am wanting to use the ability to databind a control to a field in a table.
In order to do this, I have to use a control like Datagrid or DataList.
Given those choices, I choose the DataList.

My record is big so only one record will be displayed in my datalist at one
time. In order to mave more control over how everthing shows up, I was
thinking of surrounding the DataList with a HTML <Table>. Do I just stick
the the DataList into a single <TD>? I tried to place it inside of the <TD>
but I get a schema violation warning. If I place it inside of a <TD> How do
I get more then a single row?

Maybe my approach here is all wrong. Maybe I should just forget about
databinding and use all labels and textboxes, but I thought there would be
fewere controls on the form, if I used a table.

Any recommendations ?

Hello, I created a datalist in an ASP.Net / VB page. I display the image and price of a few products. When a user clicks an image I want to load the page "detail.aspx?number=id" and send the value of the "id" field of that record as a URL parameter. Can someone tell me how to do this.

First here is my goal: When a datalist is rendered to a page and you use the <itemtemplate> the datalist automatically prints a <tr> <td> start and end tags. Now this may not be too bad but I have run into a situation repeatedly with the designing factor of a datalist. Most of the time when I use a datalist I utilize the header, item, and footer templates to build a custom table. However, utilizing the simple example below you will...

I'm using DataList to present tabular data but am often having problems with some rows column alignment being out of synch with the rest of the rows. My DataList looks similar to this...: <asp:datalist id="DataList1" runat="server"> <HeaderTemplate> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="400"> <tr> <td width="100">First Name</td>

Hi All, Thanks for reading my post. I have been working on getting nested datalists working properly wihtin my framework for many days and I think I'm almost there. See if you could help me get over the hump here. Some of our products come in different sizes - i.e. what I call "units". Some products don't. I successfully created the first datalist (called productList) to show our products with their general

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
