Hi there,

Im looking for a solution to have multiple header in a listview or repeater such as:

THURSDAY, 26 MARCH 2009

row here

row here

 THURSDAY, 27 MARCH 2009

row here

row here

 THURSDAY, 28 MARCH 2009

 row here

row here

Thanks for any input!

 Hi, you can use the grouping grid, it means that create a child listview inside a parent listview. See the good example in http://mattberseth.com/blog/2008/01/building_a_grouping_grid_with.html

You may make use of 2 repeaters as well.

    <asp:Repeater ID="rptHeader" runat="server">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <%# Eval("HeaderTextField") %><br />
            <asp:Repeater ID="rptDetail" runat="server">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <%# Eval("DetailUnderHeaderField") %>
                </ItemTemplate>
                <SeparatorTemplate><br /></SeparatorTemplate>
            </asp:Repeater>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:Repeater>

 A couples of questions on your solution fatewong.

Does the dataSource need to be formatted in a certain way, such as:

date[column]                                        item[column]

2009-01-01                                        item1, item2, item3

2009-01-02                                       item4, item5

At the moment, my dataSource is under the following format:

date[column]                                 item[column]

2009-01-01                                        item1

2009-01-01                                        item2 

2009-01-01                                        item3 

2009-01-02                                        item4 

2009-01-02                                        item5 

Right now, the Header for the date is appearing, but nothing after.

 So my question is, the datasource must be under what kind of format for this to work?

Thanks,

Mat

There are 2 alternatives to do that.

1. using sql "select distinct your_date_field from your_table"  and bind it to first repeater. In ItemDataBound event of first repeater, using sql "select your_item_column from your_table where your_date_field = selected_date" and bind it to second repeater (which is inside ItemTemplate of first repeater)

2. using sql "select * from your_table" and store it into a DataTable (eg. dtAllRecord), assign to a DataView (eg. dvAllRecord) and thus use dvAllRecord.ToTable(true, "your_date_field") method to get distinct Date record, bind it to first repeater. In ItemDataBound event of first repeater, filter necessary record using dvAllRecord.RowFilter = String.Format(new CultureInfo("en-GB").DateTimeFormat, "your_date_field = #{0:d}#", selecteddate)
