I have table with pageId, parentPageId, title columns.
Is there a way to return unordered nested list using asp.net, cte, stored procedure, UDF... anything?
Table looks like this:
PageID ParentId Title
1 null Home
2 null Products
3 null Services
4 2 Category 1
5 2 Category 2
6 5 Subcategory 1
7 5 SubCategory 2
8 6 Third Level Category 1
...
Result should look like this:
Home
Products
Category 1
SubCategory 1
Third Level Category 1
SubCategory 2
Category 2
Services
Ideally, list should contain <a> tags as well, but I hope I can add it myself if I find a way to create <ul> list.
EDIT 1: I thought that already there is a solution for this, but it seems that there isn't. I wanted to keep it simple as possible and to escape using ASP.NET menu at any cost, because it uses tables by default. Then I have to use CSS Adapters etc.
Even if I decide to go down the "ASP.NET menu" route I was able to find only this approach: http://aspalliance.com/822 which uses DataAdapter and DataSet :(
Any more modern or efficient way?
