Display all fields in a datalist

[Roland Wolters]

Hi,

This tast seems so simple but I can't seem to crack it:

I have some data in a dataset. I can bind the dataset to a datalist control
and show the fieldvalues but i would have to hardcode the filednames.

Problem is that I just want to show ALL the fields without knowing what
table is loaded. I do not know what fields are present.

I am trying to foreach through items in the container object in the
itemtemplate but no luck.

Any tips?
Greetings,

Roland

Hi Roland,

Is there any reason you can't bind to a datagrid? It seems like it would
give you just what you want.

Hi, Roland,

Is it really important for your design to use a DataList? You can easily
display all of the data in a DataTable in a DataGrid with
AutoGenerateColumns = true.
