Datalist with an xml file

[Aaron]

How do I get all the name(s) listed in the datalist?

<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="X mlDataSource1">

<ItemTemplate >

<table>

<tr>

<td><%# XPath("Name")%> </td>

</tr>

</table>

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:DataList>

<asp:XmlDataSou rce ID="XmlDataSour ce1" runat="server" DataFile="~/Query1.xml" XPath="Donors">

</asp:XmlDataSour ce>

<Donors>

<Name >

Abigail Sears

</Name>

<Name >

Alicia &amp; Joe Swindel

</Name>

<Name >

Alissa &amp; Neal Keny-Guyer

</Name>

<Name >

Ann Bremer &amp; Earl Molander

</Name>

....

</Donors>

This is one way to do it (.NET 2.0):

<asp:XmlDataSou rce
ID="XmlDataSour ce1"
runat="server"
DataFile="test2 006022001.xml" XPath="Donors/Name"></asp:XmlDataSour ce>

<asp:DataList id="MyDataList " DataSourceId="X mlDataSource1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate >
<%# XPath(".") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

Martin,

Thanks,

my next question is this:
How do you get this datalist more like a grided table of 3 columns?
Here is what I have but it is not in true columns.
<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" BorderColor="#0 06699"
DataSourceID="X mlDataSource1"

GridLines="Both " ShowFooter="Fal se" ShowHeader="Fal se" BackColor="Whit e"
Font-Bold="False" Font-Italic="False" Font-Overline="False "
Font-Strikeout="Fals e" Font-Underline="Fals e" RepeatColumns=" 3"
RepeatDirection ="Horizontal ">

<ItemTemplate>< %# XPath(".")%></ItemTemplate>

</asp:DataList>

The XML specific problem is solved then I think, for presentational
aspects of the ASP.NET DataList consider asking in an ASP.NET group.
