When you don't specify the RepeatColumns property of the DataList-control. The following error occurs:

System.DivideByZeroException

Row156: int nRow = iItem / dataList.RepeatColumns;

in the class: App_Code\Adapters\DataListAdapter.cs  

When you set the RepeatColumns to 1 everything works fine.

 

Nice catch!  I'll add it to my to-do list for the next rev.

ahh  good thing I searched before I added this again! Of course I didn't search to solve it - duh -but it was easy enough to find. :-)

i dont think setting to 1 is the proper solution... becuase thats not really the "real" value... i think it's more appropriate to check if repepat column = 0... then not do any of that work in the first place.

 

Agreed.  The real solution, which will be in the next rev of the kit, uses a more sophisticated heuristic to deal with cases where the repeat column count is 0.  Setting the value to a positive integer is just a simple workaround for the present rev of the kit (in cases where you can identify a reasonable number for the repeat column count).

Cool, I think the solution I posted in the oher thread for having a bool to say if you have data....

i imagine the same type of error could potentially ahppen with rows if someone where to modify the code a little, i dont know... in any case...

if you have no data... you can hit a nodata template, or something like that.
