    DataList Control - Conclusion


    (Page 4 of 4 )

    I've given you enough code and explanation of how the DataList works to at least make you dangerous. If you need any deeper information, I would advise you visit the class information at the MSDN library: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWebUIWebControlsDataListClassTopic.asp

    Thanks for reading! To save you a lot of choppy copying and pasting, here's all the code in one big chunk:

    <%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true" %>

    <%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %>

    <%@ import Namespace="System.Data.OleDb" %>

    <script runat="server">


    sub page_load( source as Object, e as EventArgs )

    if not isPostBack then

    doBinding()

    end if

    end sub


    Sub doBinding()

    Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _

    "Ole DB Services=-4; " & _

    "Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test.mdb"


    Dim dbConnection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(strConn)


    Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM products"


    Dim dataAdapter As OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter( strSQL, strConn)

    Dim dataSet As DataSet = new DataSet

    dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)


    dList.DataSource = dataSet

    dList.DataBind()

    End Sub


    Sub getItem( s as object, e as DataListCommandEventArgs )

    dList.SelectedIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex

    doBinding()

    End Sub


    Sub editItem( s as object, e as DataListCommandEventArgs )

    dList.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex

    doBinding()

    End Sub


    Sub UpdateItem( s as object, e as DataListCommandEventArgs )

    End Sub


    Sub DeleteItem( s as object, e as DataListCommandEventArgs )

    End Sub


    Sub doCancel( s as object, e as DataListCommandEventArgs )

    dList.SelectedIndex = -1

    dList.EditItemIndex = -1

    doBinding()

    End Sub


    </script>
