How to dynamically bind ItemTempalate in dynamically.

[imranafsari]

Dear all, I am using asp.net, C# , Sql Server 2005. I am using datalist control and bind it like<%# "Category : " + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Categoryid1") %>
<%# "Category : " + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Categoryid2") %> Here I am binding category and image path field. Now these are static field I would like to know whether Is it possible to dynamically bind these field. That mean based on dataset filed can I be able to bind all the filed irrespective of its field defined Thanks

Do you mean to dynamically find the fields and show whatever is there ? The GridView at least has an AutoPopulate property that will just show whatever is in the data source.

when you bind the dataset to the datalist control, ItemDataBound Event of the datalist control fires for each item in the datalist. In the Event you can find the control and assign the data item value to the control.

Other than the GridView that Christian has already recommended, I would also take a look at the Repeater Control[^]. It will repeat whatever HTML layout you want to use for each item in a list.
