I am trying to bind a List<AreaField>
to a repeater. I have converted the list into an array by using the ToArray()
method and now have a array of AreaField[]
Here's my class hierarchy
public class AreaFields
{
public List<Fields> Fields { set; get; }
}
public class Fields
{
public string Name { set; get; }
public string Value {set; get; }
}
In the aspx, I would like to bind it a repeater (something like this)
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "MyAreaFieldName1")
The MyAreaFieldName1 is the value of the Name property in the AreaFieldItem class.
You may want to create a subRepeater.
<asp:Repeater ID="SubRepeater" runat="server" DataSource='<%# Eval("Fields") %>'>
<ItemTemplate>
<span><%# Eval("Name") %></span>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
You can also cast your fields
<%# ((ArrayFields)Container.DataItem).Fields[0].Name %>
Finally you could do a little CSV Function and write out your fields with a function
<%# GetAsCsv(((ArrayFields)Container.DataItem).Fields) %>
public string GetAsCsv(IEnumerable<Fields> fields)
{
var builder = new StringBuilder();
foreach(var f in fields)
{
builder.Append(f);
builder.Append(",");
}
builder.Remove(builder.Length - 1);
return builder.ToString();
}
It is surprisingly simple...
Code behind:
// Here's your object that you'll create a list of
private class Products
{
public string ProductName { get; set; }
public string ProductDescription { get; set; }
public string ProductPrice { get; set; }
}
// Here you pass in the List of Products
private void BindItemsInCart(List<Products> ListOfSelectedProducts)
{
// The the LIST as the DataSource
this.rptItemsInCart.DataSource = ListOfSelectedProducts;
// Then bind the repeater
// The public properties become the columns of your repeater
this.rptItemsInCart.DataBind();
}
ASPX code:
<asp:Repeater ID="rptItemsInCart" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Product Name</th>
<th>Product Description</th>
<th>Product Price</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td><%# Eval("ProductName") %></td>
<td><%# Eval("ProductDescription")%></td>
<td><%# Eval("ProductPrice")%></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</tbody>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
I hope this helps!
Code Behind:
public class Friends
{
public string ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Image { get; set; }
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List <Friends> friendsList = new List<Friends>();
foreach (var friend in friendz)
{
friendsList.Add(
new Friends { ID = friend.id, Name = friend.name }
);
}
this.rptFriends.DataSource = friendsList;
this.rptFriends.DataBind();
}
.aspx Page
<asp:Repeater ID="rptFriends" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td><%# Eval("ID") %></td>
<td><%# Eval("Name") %></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</tbody>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
You should use ToList() method.
(Don't forget about System.Linq namespace)
ex.:
IList<Model> models = Builder<Model>.CreateListOfSize(10).Build();
List<Model> lstMOdels = models.ToList();
