Repeater Control: How to repeat in rows of x?

[SamIAm]

Hi

I need a repeater control (not datalist) to display a table containing 3
columns of data per row. i.e.

<table>
<tr>
<td>Item 1</td>
<td>Item 2</td>
<td>Item 3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Item 4</td>
<td>Item 5</td>
<td>Item 6</td>
</tr>
</table>

How can a achieve this using a repeater control?

Thanks,

S

Thanks for the reply Justin, but that article only shows you how to get data
out and loop through it displaying 1 column per row at a time. I need to
display more than one column per row.

SamIAm,

In that case use of a datagrid might be better.

SamIAm,

I'm not certain why you can't use a datagrid but the code for the repeater
would be similar to this:

<Table id="Table1" Width="100%" border="1" CellPadding="5" CellSpacing="0">
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"FirstColumnData") %>
</td>
<td>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"SecondColumnData") %>
</td>
<td>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"ThirdColumnData") %>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</Table>
