Datalist within a Datalist.

Rob Manger

Hi All,

This may be a stupid question, and may not be the correct solution for my
problem, but here goes.

I want to include a datalist within a datalist, in order to effectively
group items according to one of the columns in a dataset. For example: I
have 2 artists and 7 items. I want to display these in the following
format:

Artist1 Item1
Item2
Item5
Item7

Artist2 Item3
Item4
Item6

I have successfully included a datalist inside a datalist, BUT the second
datalist lists ALL items. I need to somehow run a custom SELECT statement,
eg: in a dataview, but I can't figure out how to do this dynamically. I
want to avoid having a separate Dataview for each Artist.

Can anyone help me please? And is this the right solution?

Regards and Thanx in advance.

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but it sounds like you're
trying to duplicate the functionality provided in datagrids:

datalist vbCrLf & OnEditCommand/OnUpdateCommand Event Procedures

by: Jim in Arizona | last post by:

Is there an easier way to make a datalist aware of line breaks within text fields? I have a text box that users can type into. If they press the enter key a few times, VB sees this as a vbCrLf. This text is inserted into a text field in an SQL server. When the data is read and presented by the datalist, the line breaks are gone. All the text is just together without paragraphing. I am able to keep the spaces if I try this approach:
