I have an arraylist of objects. This arraylist is bound to a repeater. That repeater then creates a set of controls like so
<asp:repeater id="garmentRepe ater" runat="server" OnItemCommand=" Repeater_Button Click"><HeaderT emplate><asp:La bel id="Label1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 250px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 80px" runat="server
Width="200px" Height="50px" Font-Names="Impact" Font-Size="Large">Ga rments on offer</asp:Label></HeaderTemplate> <ItemTemplate>< table><tr><td
// this control is irrelevan
<asp:Button id="Button" runat="server" title = '<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "Name") %>' text = "Select" /
// this control is irrelevan
<IMG id = "Image" src = '<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "ImagePath" ) %>'/
// this control IS Relevant to my proble
<asp:DropDownLi st ID = "DropDownColour " DataSource = '<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "Colours")% >'></asp:DropDownLis t></td></tr></table></ItemTemplate></asp:repeater
Now you can see from this I am trying to create a drop down list which has the contents of an arraylist that is part of the type of object in the arraylist that the repeater is bound to
e.g:(psuedocode
Garment g = new Garment()
g.Name = "Some name"
g.ImagePath = "Image1.jpg "
ArrayList colours = new ArrayList()
colours.Items.A dd("White")
colours.Items.A dd("Black")
g.Colours = colours
ArrayList myObjects = new ArrayList()
myObjects.Add(g )
garmentRepeater .DataSource = myObjects
DataBind()
As you can see the arraylist that the repeater is bound to contains objects which contain arraylists as well. Is it possible to bind these to a dropdownlist while the repeater is creating them
Many thanks to anyone who read this far or gifts me with a reply
