Hi,
You can use a repeater control, within the item template of the repeater
display a row from the master table then add a gridview to display the
details, below a sample based on the northwind database that displays the
customers, one by one and below each customer the orders made by this customer
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="rpt" DataSourceID="s qldsMaster"
OnItemDataBound ="rpt_ItemDataB ound">
<HeaderTemplate >
<table>
<tr>
<td>Company Name</td>
<td>Contact Name</td>
<td>Contact Title</td>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate >
<tr>
<td><%# Eval("CompanyNa me") %></td>
<td><%# Eval("ContactNa me") %></td>
<td><%# Eval("ContactTi tle") %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">
<asp:Label Visible="false" runat="server"
ID="lblCustID" Text='<%# Eval("CustomerI D") %>'></asp:Label>
<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="grdDetails "
AutoGenerateCol umns="true">
</asp:GridView>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate >
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
<asp:SqlDataSou rce ID="sqldsMaster " runat="server"
ConnectionStrin g="<%$ ConnectionStrin gs:NorthwindCon nectionString %>"

[ContactName], [ContactTitle] FROM [Customers]">

</form>
<script runat="server">

Hello!
I don't know if this is possible, but I have two tables in a
one-to-many relationship. I want one record to be displayed in a
GridView from table1 with a blue background, followed by all the
related records in table 2 in a white background, followed by the next
record in table1 in a blue background (for example). It should be nice
an simple. Back in the ASP Classic days, I would use response.write
and build a table, but I was wondering if there is an easier way to do
this in .NET. Oh yes, I'm using VB.
Thanks for any help!
