Question

I have a UserControl inside a repeater. The repeater\'s datasource is from SQL Server.

User Control\'s .cs - MoviePanel.ascx.cs:

---

public int m         


        

Answer 1

here is one way, doing it all in the code behind. I can't say this is best practice, but it's clean. You use the ItemDataBind event, cast the item to what you want, datatable, whatever, then create a new instance of the user control and add it to the repeater's control collection

Page source

public partial class _Default : Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var myList = new List() { "one", "two", "three" };
        myRepeater.DataSource = myList;
        myRepeater.DataBind();
    }

    public void R1_ItemDataBound(Object Sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {
        var items = (string)e.Item.DataItem;
        var newcontrol = (WebUserControl1)Page.LoadControl("~/WebUserControl1.ascx");
        newcontrol.myTest = items;
        myRepeater.Controls.Add(newcontrol);           
    }   
}

Page html

user control

and

public partial class WebUserControl1 : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
    public string myTest { get; set; }
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        myLabel.InnerText = myTest;
    }
}
