Quick and Dirty Grouping with a Repeater Control 1

[faust13]

Does anyone know of a quick and dirty way to do grouping with a repeater control.

Example

Parent Record
-Child Record
-Child Record
Parent Record
-Child Record
-Child Record
-Child Record

I've found some tutorials out there that are way above what I need.

Suggestions?


Thanks,

I guess that answers my question. There's no quick and dirty way. Found that article, just looking for a simplier way. Grouping is very easy with ColdFusion, I was hoping ASP.Net had similar way.

Thanks!

I don't agree with that. Both that article and ones such as:

http://www.agrinei.com/gridviewhelper/gridviewhelper_en.htm

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479043.aspx

all show simple ways, don't require much effort and can be easily implemented. Another easy method is to do the grouping in you SQL statement even before it is returned to any page.

Also, what is the simple Coldfusion method you use? Maybe that could be emulated just as easily.

Perfect ca8msm. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm surprised I didn't run across these articles before.

Thanks again.
