Biniding custom objects to DataRepeater

[Neven Klofutar]

Hi,

How can I bind ArrayList of my object to DataRepeater ?


I have 2 classes:

public class Movie {
private String _Name = "";
private Double _Price = 0;

// getters and setters

public Item() {}
}
public class Items {
private Movie _Movie = null;
private Int16 _Quantity = 1;

// getter and setter
}

How can I use ArrayList of Items as a DataRepeater.DataSource ?
What should I use in DataBinder.Eval ?

<ItemTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name") %><br>
</ItemTemplate>


thanx, Neven

DataBinder.Eval is a smart cookie. Specify the name of a property (getters)
and you're all set.

Alternatively, you can use:

((Movie)Container.DataItem).Name (ie, cast Container.DataItem to the
individual items in your arraylist)...but I prefer DataBinder.Eval

Or you can use

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Movie.Name") %>


Thanx, Neven
