DataList控件内的按钮列表

Question

I am a facing a situation in which I need to use something like a ButtonList inside a DataList control.

Since there is no control like ButtonList , should I nest a DataList/Repeater inside the DataList or there is some other better option to handle the situation.

Answer 1

I am not exactly sure what you are looking for but this is what I assume you want:

YourListItem1 
    ButtonAction1
    ButtonAction2
    ButtonAction3
    ButtonAction4
YourListItem2
    ButtonAction1
    ButtonAction3
YourListItem3
    ButtonAction1
    ButtonAction2
YourListItem3
    ButtonAction3
    ButtonAction4

Or something similar?

To produce this you could just have a DataList with a Repeater inside that contains the buttons you need. You could implement the OnDataBinding event of your DataList (YourListItem) and then bind the data that produces the buttons based on some data. Then in the Repeater you could implement each button's OnDataBinding event and assign the CommandArguments with the ID or detail you need to make the button act specific to the row it is on.

This method would allow you to make one function for each button used in your template and the CommandArgument would define the details of the action.
