Datalist within a datalist (ASP.NET)

I'm unsure if a datalist with in a datalist is the best option for what i'm
doing, which is I have a 3 tables, table1, table2 and table3. Each item in
table1 will have multiple items from table2 and each in table2 will have 1 or
more items in table3.
Currently I've got a stored proc retrieving this dataset nicely and i've
just bound it to a datalist. I check to see if the issue or goal cell is
repeated from the cell above before displaying it so it looks something like
this.

item1 thing1 widget1
thing2 widget2
widget3
thing3 widget4
item2 thing4 widget5

I would like to be able to display each item and its attached things and
widgets in one row of a datalist and thought a datalist for each item, placed
inside another datalist would be the way to do it.

Any better ideas? and if not, how would I go about doing this in ASP.NET C#?

Does anyone know of a tutorial that goes into datalists in this way?
