HI...

To bind a datalist is same as binding a datasource in datagrid....

Me.DataList1.DataSource = contDs
Me.DataList1.DataBind()

First, you have to edit the template by right clicking the dataitem control..
select the Item Templates and add a label control (for example)
select the label control and open its property.. go to databindings
select the custom binding expression.
there you type the code below and click ok:

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Name")
assuming one of your the fields in you table1 is "Name"

ok regards,
Ruel
