Another Repeater question

[Peter Kirk]

Hi

I generate an array of Port objects, and "bind" them to a repeater, called
PortList, like this:

PortList.DataSource = ports;
PortList.DataBind();

I can then use this in my asp, like this (pseudo asp):

<asp:repeater id="PortList" Runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# ((IPort)Container.DataItem).Name %><br>
<%# ((IPort)Container.DataItem).ArrivalDate %><br>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>

But, one of the properties of my Port object is itself an array - of
"comments" (strings). How do I get my PortList repeater to also display the
array of comments for each Port?

Something like:

<asp:repeater id="PortList" Runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# ((IPort)Container.DataItem).Name %><br>
<%# ((IPort)Container.DataItem).ArrivalDate %><br>

<!-- Comments is an array of strings, each of which need to be
displayed. -->
<%# ((IPort)Container.DataItem).Comments %><br>

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>


Thanks for any help,
Peter

Hi again - I found out I can define another "nested" repeater directly on my
asp. (One reason I wasn't seeing anything when I tried this before was that
there wa sno data in my database!)
