  Emulating a GridView with Atlas

  Oct 04, 2005 11:23 PM|LINK

  What is everyone using when you want to return a grid of results like you'd do with the GridView control on the server-side?  Currently I'm just using the ListView control but it doesn't seem right.  Unfortunately I'm drawing out a table for each row since I can't seem to add the ItemTemplateControlID to a <tr> tag (doing that displays nothing for some reason).  So, while I have it working OK I'd love to hear the "correct" way to emulate a GridView using Atlas controls.
  
  Thanks,
  Dan
  
  

  <atlas:ListView id="searchResults" runat="server" ItemTemplateControlID="row" CssClass="listView" ItemCssClass="item" AlternatingItemCssClass="alternatingItem">
  <LayoutTemplate>

  <table id="row" runat="Server" width="100%" border="0">

  <tr>

  <td width="25%">

  <atlas:Label id="Label3" runat="server">

  <Bindings>

  <atlas:Binding DataPath="CustomerID" Property="text" />

  </Bindings>

  </atlas:Label>

  </td>

  <td width="25%">

  <atlas:Label id="name" runat="server">

  <Bindings>

  <atlas:Binding DataPath="ContactName" Property="text" />

  </Bindings>

  </atlas:Label>

  </td>

  <td width="25%">

  <atlas:Label id="Label2" runat="server">

  <Bindings>

  <atlas:Binding DataPath="CompanyName" Property="text" />

  </Bindings>

  </atlas:Label>

  </td>

  <td width="25%">

  <atlas:Label id="Label1" runat="server">

  <Bindings>

  <atlas:Binding DataPath="Country" Property="text" />

  </Bindings>

  </atlas:Label>

  </td>

  </tr>

  </table>

  </LayoutTemplate>

  </atlas:ListView>

  As for the issue with repeating rows: try inserting a tbody. So your template should look something like:
  
  <table>
    <tbody id="rowContainer" runat="server">
      <tr id="rowTemplate" runat="server">....</tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
  
  As far as I know, this should work. The reason why it doesn't work when you have a table with a tr, is (afaik) related to the IE's DOM representation for it, which adds the tbody implicitly if you didn't define it.

  That did it...thanks for the suggestion.  By adding the <tbody> tag and putting the ItemTemplateControlID value on the <tr> tag it takes it.  Much nicer. :-)
