Implementing databinding from the ASPX/ASCX file is very
straightforward :
<asp:XmlDataSou rce id="XmlDs1" DataFile="[some RSS feed]">...</>
<asp:Repeater >
<HeaderTemplate ><%#XPath("titl e")%></>
</>
However, what if you wanted to do this ONLY from the code behind? For
example, if I didn't have a repeater on an ASPX page or anything... it
would be added dynamically. How you do you do something like this:
// bind XmlDataSource to a repeater
// create & add an ASP.NET HyperLink control to the HeaderTemplate of a
repeater that was added to the page.
someLink.Naviga tionUrl = "#XPath("title" ) ; // I know this won't
work, just trying to convey the concept
Is this even possible? I'm fairly certain it is, just keep hitting a
dead end and can't find any articles out there that demonstrate it.
TIA,

xxxTemplate properties can be created in two ways. You can either load them
from external files
myRepeater.Head erTemplate.Load Template(fileNa me)
or you can use custom Template classes:

Eliyahu-
Thanks again, that article was spot on. However, I've got a question about binding with an XmlDataSource and using the XPath method.
Say, in markup, I create an XmlDataSource and set the DataFile to an RSS feed with no XPath defined. Then I associate it to a Repeater, and inside the Repeater, I have a <%# XPath("title") %to fetch the title of the feed.
I'm having one heck of a time getting this to work in a 100% pure code behind model. I've tried numerous permutations with no success. Even obtaining a reference to the DataItem within my event handler returns an object that's not even listed in the SDK. ideas?

Unfortunately, my experience with xml-related matters is rather limited.You
will get better response if you re-post it in a separate thread.

I cut down the code to make this half way understandable... I have
read Data Grid girls caution about over use of dynamic controls. I
truly believe what I am doing requires dynamically inserted user
controls.
Worse I'm trying to add dynamic user controls from within a repeater
loop (looping through attributes)... I bind to a function in the code
behind and pass in the attribute.

Hello,
I am dynamically creating checkboxes on my web page based on data in a
SQL Server table. Therefore, these checkboxes do not exist at design
time and I cannot refer to them in my server-side code at design time.
Once the page is submitted, how can I access these checkboxes in my
code-behind?
Thanks for the help,

Let's say I rendered a bunch of controls with the same name and different IDs.
On postback, can I somehow iterate through these controls (checkboxes in
this case, but could be dropdown controls in the future) and get their values
and IDs
with all this done in the code behind page?
A small example would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oleg

Hi,
Suppose I have an form that contains any number of controls. To access
these controls programatically and get/set the state of their
properties, must they all be server controls (have the runat="server"
attribute)?

Hi:
The new databound controls (GridView, DetailsView, ect.) use declaritive
syntax (i.e, setup in HTML at design time). However, at times sql
statements and parameters may need to be derived at runtime. In ASP 1.0 we
could do this in code behind, but how do we do it in ASP 2.0? The examples
I see are setting up controls compeletly at design time.
Thanks,
Charlie
