DataList, DataSet or DataTable rows limit

[Aahz]

Hello;

I have an XML file with data which I show in DataList sucessfully,
using DataSet
Problem is that XML has about 30 records which is too much I need to
show just first 10 ordered by date (10 newest)

I don't know how to do this.

Any help is highly appreciated

Thanks

Aahz,
this sounds like an ASP.NET question, so the c# group probably might not
have been the best place to post it.

To page a DataList, you would need to add a "pagerbar" control to it; the
DataList does not come with paging built-in as the DataGrid does.

Look around, I've seen a few implementation of the "Paging DataList".

Alternatively, you can filter and sort your dataset prior to binding to the
DataList.

Several cases
1) Use XSLT
2) Use DataTable.Select with aggregating function

You may be interested in my pager control:

that lets you add paging support for any asp.net control with no code
at all if you use a data source control.
