Thank you for your reply but that is not exactly what I am looking for.
I want to create a custom databound control to display search results of
products from an online store's database. I want to display a ceratain
amount of products per page and allow the user to be able to skip to
different pages, next page, prev page, display number of results etc.
So I want to use a for loop to print out the resulting products and stop the
loop when the incrementer hits a certain number and start the incrementer at
different numbers depending on what page the user is on.
That's easy enought to do, I could do that. However, I don't want any
of my html in my custom databound control. I want the custom databound
control's for loop to print out the values for the databinding expressions
<% Eval("whatever object property") %> within the template.
for ex:
<emptyResultSet>
Your search did not produce any results.....
</emptyResultSet>
<searchResult>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<span style="whatever"><% Eval("ProductName") %></span>
<div style="whatever">< Eval("ProductPrice") %></span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</searchResult>
<resultSetInfo>
<table><tr><td>Next, Prev, First, Last (How many results)</td></tr></table>
</resultSetInfo>
I above html does not make any sense it is just an example. So, I don't
know how (from within the control) to get the html from the
<searchResult> opening and closing xml template tags and print that in
the for loop while evaluating the databinding expressions.
I hope you could help, thank you so much,
Barret
