Repeater

Re: Repeater

If you have a known number of levels in the hierarchy, you can create a
"nested repeater".
Just google it.

If you have a unknown number, look at implementing your own version of

IHierarchyData Interface (System.Web.UI)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.ihierarchydata.aspx

Exposes a node of a hierarchical data structure, including the node object and some properties that describe characteristics of the node. Objects that implement the IHierarchyData interface can be contained in IHierarchicalEnumerable collections, and are used by ASP.NET site navigation and data source controls.

IHierarchyData

My goal is create a hierarchial dataset with parent child relationship.
What
I thought would be an easy task has turned out to be quite difficult. In
the
financial world you see many grids with parent/child relationship.
However,
my search of the web has not reveal anything that can easily be done.

Re: Repeater

I have played around with the repeater enough to run a couple of different
sample applications. However, none have demonstrated the ability to expand on
the display of the parent repeater where it equals the child repeater. That's
the look I am trying to accomplish.

Re: Repeater

You can try this:

If that doesn't help, then I don't have anything.

Another (in general) useful article:

The resource cannot be found.

if you are working with asp.net 3.5 - ListView is the way to go for most
data binding scenarios :
