How to use repeater control in ASP.NET 2.0(VB.NET)


ASP.NET Controls Tutorial

The Repeater control is used to display a repeated list of items that are bound to the control. It enable the customization of the layout by each repeated list of items. The Repeater control may be bound to a database table, an XML file, or another list of items. The Repeater control has no built-in select and edit support.

Below are 2 simple Repeater controls. The first one display its items in a table, and the second one display its items separated by comma.

Define PositionData  Class

Public Class PositionData
Private myName As String
Private myTicker As String

Public Sub New(newName As String, newTicker As String)
Me.myName = newName
Me.myTicker = newTicker
End Sub

Public ReadOnly Property Name() As String
Get
Return myName
End Get
End Property

Public ReadOnly Property Ticker() As String
Get
Return myTicker
End Get
End Property
End Class

We migrated our web sites to Server Intellect over one weekend and the setup was so smooth that we were up and running right away. They assisted us with everything we needed to do for all of our applications. With Server Intellect's help, we were able to avoid any headaches!

Invoking PositionData to add data, and use Repeater1, Repeater2 to bind data

display

Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
If Not IsPostBack Then
Dim values As New ArrayList()

values.Add(New PositionData("Microsoft", "Msft"))
values.Add(New PositionData("Intel", "Intc"))
values.Add(New PositionData("Dell", "Dell"))

Repeater1.DataSource = values
Repeater1.DataBind()

Repeater2.DataSource = values
Repeater2.DataBind()
End If
End Sub

We are using Server Intellect and have found that by far, they are the most friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable support team we've ever dealt with!
