setting SelectedIndex of DataList nested inside of DataList?

I have a menu system composed of a DataList nested inside a DataList.

The outer DataList has it's DataSource (composed of a DataSet with two tables
linked by a CategoryPagesRe lation Relation) set in the Page_Load.

The inner DataList has its DataSource set in the ascx file as:

<asp:DataList ID="PageList" runat="server" CellPadding="3" CellSpacing="0"
DataSource='<%#
((DataRowView)C ontainer.DataIt em).Row.GetChil dRows("Category PagesRelation") %>'

The inner DataList is inside the SelectedItemTem plate of the outer DataList.

The inner DataList sub-menu displays inside the outer DataList, but there is a
problem with selecting an item inside the inner DataList.

Inside the PageLoad, the outer DataList has its SelectedIndex set before its
DataSource is set and DataBind is called.

This works, however - inner DataList's SelectedIndex cannot be set after the
outer DataList's DataBind as it will not be visible - and it cannot be set
before it as the object doesn't yet exist.

My guess is that the inner DataList's SelectedIndex must be set inside an
ItemDataBound of the outer DataList - but I'm not sure how to do this.

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Hello, Can someone please help me. I thought this would be simple but so far nothing I try works..... I've got a simple update page. On this page I have a datalist bound by data from a SQL Server table. I used the standard: MyDataList.DataSource = objDS MyDataList.DataBind() inside a sub to bind the data on pageload.

I am trying to use a DataList and the ItemTemplate. I am binding the Datalist to a SQL query that gives me a list of Items with a Parent Category.

Hi everyone, I've been having this problem and I've searched high and low, but I can't seem to find the answer to what is probably a very simple solution. In a nutshell, I have a nested datalist, Parent and Child. In the child datalist, I need to get 1 of the values from the parent datalist. I've included the dataaccess code below, only for completeness.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
