Typically, I've resorted to iterating over the items collection of the datalist to do it, using the syntax DataList1.Items[i].FindControl("controlId") to hook into it as you iterate.
But I ned to "Add" a control (label) to the datalist item template. how do I do this? I can do a DataList1.Items[i].FindControl("controlId"), but how do I add items to the list? Thanks for the reply by the way. I am on a short time table here. :)
Right, well, my point is that you're trying (I thought) to add a new label to that one panel that's got a bunch of labels on it, right? to do that, you need to first get an instance of the Panel (iterating over the control tree and returning the one you want). Then, you'd add it to that panel's control collection just like you normally would add a dynamic control, e.g. myPanel.Controls.Add(someLabelYouJustCreated);
Can I ask, though, what's the lifespan of these labels? Because, if they only last as long as the page is in view to the user, it might be easier to add them as clientside objects rather than serverside ones. Just soemthing to think about.
Thanks for the fast reply. You are right that I am trying to add labels dynamically to the panel inside the datalist. I get the intellisense for the datalist, but in the code behind it did not register (intellisense see) the panel. I cant do it on client side because the labels I am filling is coming from a database. So when I type hovPanel.xxx.xxx it says that hovpanel is not declared. thats where my problem is coming from.
I guess I need to get an instance of the panel, but I cant. I tried creating a new one in the code behind with the same name and it runs fine, but nothing gets added to the panel
i.e.
Dim hovpanel as panel = new panel (Although there is already a panel in the .aspx with the ID of "hovpanel"
Right, that's my whole point about the FindControl method. I don't do VB very well, so let me speak in abstract terms. you should say Dim hovPanel as Panel = findPanel("hovPanel") (or some such). findPanel() is a method you define which loops through the items of datalist1 to look for one with the id matching the above; I previously described this.
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/webdatalist.aspx
That's a good example as well.
Ahh, I see where you are going. Thanks. I am going to give it a try.
Thanks Paul. I did this and it worked...
Dim lbl1As Label =New Label lbl1.Text ="PRINT ME"Dim yAs Integer For y = 0To DataList1.Items.Count - 1Dim hovpanelAs Panel = DataList1.Items(y).FindControl("hovpanel") hovpanel.Controls.Add(lbl1)Next Now within the "FOR" loop and can run tests to see how many labels are there and how many to add and what not. Thanks a Million !!! :)
Glad I could help.
