DataGrid Inside Repeater

[Scott Schluer]

Hi All,

I have a functioning datagrid on "Page 1" that displays order information
for a single order (this is for an e-commerce site). It's actually a
combination of a couple datagrids to display all of the information.

I now have a need to drop this datagrid into a repeater on "Page 2". The
repeater will grab ALL orders within a given date range and output the
datagrids for each order. Remember, the Page 1 is built to display one
order, Page 2 will be built to display ALL orders in the same fashion as
Page 1, but listing one right after the other.

Is there an easy way to take the datagrids I already have and drop them into
the ItemTemplate container of a repeater without a lot of work? I can figure
it all out if I spent the time on it, but if there's a simple way to do
this, I'd rather just ask. ;-) How do I bind the datagrids? I'd assume
within the Repeater_ItemDataBound event I'll have to do something, but how
would that work?

Thanks,

Scott

Scott,

You're on the right track. You should be able to copy and paste your
datagrid into the repeater. Keep it's ID the same.

Then inside the Item_DataBound event of the repeater you'll get each
datagrid like this:

Dim MyDataGrid As DataGrid = CType(e.Item.FindControl("DataGridId"),
DataGrid)

"e" represents each row of the repeater.

Now you can work with the datagrid to databind it as you normally would.

MyDataGrid.DataSource = DataReader

Etc.

One more question. My datagrid (called 'dgCart' which is inside the
repeater) also has an ItemDataBound event. Within that event is this code:

oRows = dtDetails.Select("orderitem_id=" &
dgCart.DataKeys(e.Item.ItemIndex))

Notice it references dgCart.DataKeys. Well, since dgCart now only has scope
within the ItemDataBound event for the repeater, how do I access it here?

Scott,

You're welcome. If you run into any trouble feel free to email me. I wrote
that sample code from memory so if I have something wrong and you can't
figure it out let me know and I'll straighten it out. :)

Scott,

The datagrid won't be declared in your code-behind page so you won't have
access to it's events in order to hook up a subroutine using "Handles". But,
you can wire it up manually.

In the html view of the datagrid add "OnItemDataBound" along with the method
you want to fire:

This will act just like "Handles" did. (Except you don't need "Handles"
after the subroutine.)

<asp:DataGrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server"
OnItemDataBound="MyDataGrid_ItemDataBound"></asp:DataGrid>

Hi,

That's already been taken care of, its the reference to "dgCart" in the
dgCart's itemdatabound event that I can't figure out. Since "dgCart" is
declared in the REPEATERS itemdatabound event, it can't be accessed within
the other event because it's out of scope at that point.

Scott,

Yes, I think that if you add OnItemDataBound =
"YourItemDataBoundSubroutineHere" to the dgCart code inside of the repeater
then that subroutine should fire while dgCart is being databound.
