populate repeater with CodeBehind File

[ralphtrent]

Hi
I have an aspx file with a CodeBehind file. I will need to use the repeater. When I only had one row to show, I just used the label.text = DataTable.Row[0]["ColumnName"], now that I am using a repeater I can note do that. I have the repeater set up like this:

<asp:Repeater ...>
<itemtemplate>
<asp:label.../>
<asp:label.../>
<asp:label.../>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:repeater>

How can I use the CodeBehind file and the repeater. If I wanted to populate the labels' text property in the aspx file i would use text = <%Container.DataItem("ColumnName")%> but obvioulsy, I can not do that in a CodeBehind.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks.

You still add the relevant fields that you want to the repeater (e.g <%Container.DataItem("ColumnName")%> ) and then simpyl set the repeaters DataSource in the code behind file and then call the repeater's DataBind method.

That worked out. Thanks. Now not all of the data will come from a data row, what If I need to manipulate the data and then present out? How would I do that?

Thanks.

If you use the ItemDataBound event of the repeater, you can access the row's data that is currently being bound and manipulate it as necessary.
