DataBound DataList showing the correct number of empty elements!

Luis Ferrao

Hi, i'm experiencing strange problems with the datalist webcontrol.

I have it bound to a datatable like this:

Me.TreeNodeList .DataSource = _existingNodesT able
Me.TreeNodeList .DataBind()

which does contain the elements i want to display. The problem is that
the final output looks like this:

<table ...>
<tr><td></td></tr>
<tr><td></td></tr>
<tr><td></td></tr>
...
</table>

Actually the number of lines is the same as the number of records in the
datatable, but they're all empty!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Luis

Luis,

A datalist has to have an item template. Do you have one? What is there?

If all you want is just to show the table as it is you should use a datagrid
wth AutoGenerateCol umns=true, which is default.

I'm lazy: how do I make the first databound record not display/chop off the first element from SqlDataSource

I'm using ASP.NET 2.0, C#, SQL Server 2005, and databound controls like the DataList and the GridView. Right now I'm using SqlDataSource as part of very quick and dirty site; I'm not looking to tier things. I want the topmost/first data element in a particular control to NOT be displayed. This should be possible by either telling the renderer to hide the first element programmatically, or by deleting it from the data store that it has...

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,...
