Thoughts on Data Presentation

Here's the reoccuring issue that I'm faced with. I've got a datalist, where I'd each row to have a details link, that will expand to show data from another database table underneath it. It's something that I could use in EVERY project.

Sometimes, I'll take multiple rows of data from one table and concatenate it into one long string (each record in this string being a link to another "page").

In ASP, looping around is cake. But when I try to encorporate a datalist, or a datagrid, with templates... I come across nothing but issues. I'm trying to embed a datalist within a datalists <selecteditemtemplate> at the moment - with little success.

Should I just stick to repeaters, and forget my dream of details that are from separate datasources?

Sorry, does this even make sense? I could elaborate further!

All beginning is hard, and once you get the hang of working with DataLists and DataGrids you're going to see the beauty of these controls. There are plenty of examples where yoou have Datagrids within DataLists etc. I'll point you towards one:

thanks for that link - I'm preparing to spend the night with it. Are there others?

Thread was being aborted error message

Hi all, I have a user control which raises an event to the parent page when
a person clicks on a link in a datagrid.
In the event handler inside the parent page I construct a url to redirect to
containing information sent from the datagrid.
It all works fine on my local machine but when I send it to the live server
I receive "The thread was being aborted"
Doing some googling suggested that I use
Response.Redirect("./myurl.aspx?ID=" + variable,false);
to allow the current thread to continue executing.
This stops the error but what I am now finding is that the redirect does not
have the querystring attributes attached to it..
e.g. instead of looking like this...
http://www.website.com/myurl.aspx?ID=5
it looks like
http://www.website.com/myurl.aspx
It's like the redirect *never* happens...
Help appreciated
Thanks
MarkPut your Response.Redirect back to the way it was, without the false
parameter.
Then wrap it in a Try/Catch statement to eat the error that's raised from
the redirect.
I hope this helps,

Hi Steve, you mean like this?
try
{
Response.Redirect("./myurl.aspx?ID=" + variable);
}catch (Exception ex)
{
}
I have seen other people say take the Response.Redirect("./myurl.aspx?ID=" +
variable,false) out of the try catch block...
I understand why this is hapenning but cannot understand how to fix it...
Thanks again Steve..
Cheers

Thread was being aborted error message

Hi all, I have a user control which raises an event to the parent page when
a person clicks on a link in a datagrid.

In the event handler inside the parent page I construct a url to redirect to
containing information sent from the datagrid.

It all works fine on my local machine but when I send it to the live server
I receive "The thread was being aborted"

Doing some googling suggested that I use

Response.Redirect("./myurl.aspx?ID=" + variable,false);

to allow the current thread to continue executing.

This stops the error but what I am now finding is that the redirect does not
have the querystring attributes attached to it..

e.g. instead of looking like this...

http://www.website.com/myurl.aspx?ID=5

it looks like

http://www.website.com/myurl.aspx

It's like the redirect *never* happens...

Help appreciated
