Custom Repeater with hiractial Databinding
- by Dooie
Im using a Custom NestedRepeater Control for ASP.NET which can be found on code project
The source is in c# which i have converted to vb and plugged into my solution, so far so good. The problem, im having is databinding to the repeater, my code behind looks like this...
'' get all pages
Dim navPages As DataSet = Navigation.getMenuStructure()
navPages.Relations.Add(navPages.Tables(0).Columns("ID"), navPages.Tables(0).Columns("ParentID"))
NestedRepeaterNavigation.RelationName = RelationName
NestedRepeaterNavigation.DataSource = navPages
NestedRepeaterNavigation.RowFilterTop = "ParentID is null"
NestedRepeaterNavigation.DataBind()
Then in the item template of my custom repeater im trying the following...
<ItemTemplate>
<img src="/pix.gif" height="10" width="<%#(Container.Depth * 10)%>">
<%# (Container.DataItem as DataRow)["DESCRIPTION"]%>
<%# (Container.NbChildren != 0 ? "<small><i>(" + Container.NbChildren.ToString() +")</i></small>" "") %><small><i></i></small>
</ItemTemplate>
The databinding falls over; firstly that 'as DataRow' says it was expecting an ')'. And secondly that '!=' identifier expected.
Is this due to the translation from c#, should the databinding be different?
