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 see why this is a problem.
My datalist in code:
<headertemplate >
<table width="100%" summary="Table displays a list of info">
<tr>
<th scope="col"></th>
<tr>
</headertemplate>
<itemtemplate >
<tr>
<td scope="row"></td>
</tr>
</itemtemplate>
<footertemplate >
</table>
</footertemplate>
I have to build Section 508 compliant web pages for handicap
accessibility which .Net does not do very well. Now with the above
DataList the actual output would be like the following:
<table id="dlstMyDataL ist_skdis">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" summary="Table displays a list of info">
<tr>
<th scope="col"></th>
<tr>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<tr>
<td scope="row"></td>
</tr>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</table>
As you can see this is not a very well formed table and can cause
enormous problems with page layouts and 508 issues. Is there any way I
can override the way that .Net outputs the DataList object so that I can
effectively have a correctly designed table?

Isn't there the possibility to replace your table by <div> tags?

Actually no, especially when the data is related data and must be
rendered to be 508 compliant. Hence the scope tags and actually those
are the cheaters way of making a list of data copliant. I have been
doing some research and think I can use the templatebuilder class but I
need to inherit the datalist control so I can have the functionality of
the databinding, methods, and properties but just have a custom output
so that when you add a datalist to the page it will only render a table
and no tr or td tags so I can embed my own header, footer and item
templates.
Can someone give me an idea of how I can create a composite control with
custom template items but inherit all the functionality of a datalist.
Thanks
Marty U.
And what about the Repeater control? It has almost the same
functionality of the DataList, but uses no tables.

The repeater control does not have some of the functionality of the
datalist control such as the DataKeyField property. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

The DataList is not as powerful as the DataGrid. It requires more work
from you since it has no default data presentation format. However,
the DataGrid begins to get very cumbersome as the number of columns of

so and you probably induce horizontal scrolling - a real no-no for me.

I have a problem of displaying data bound by a datalist control. In my

Hello everyone,
I have a composite control (lets call it the parent) that contains a
datalist. The datalist has an ItemTemplate that contains another
composite control (lets call it the child). I am trying to create a
property at the parent control that sets a property in the child
instances.
So for example lets say I am creating a control that displays a list
of hotel reservations for a group of people.
