How To DataList on a WebForm

[JDP@Work]

I want to show my WebForm data not in a grid, but similar to a report format
as...

So I'm thinking that this can be done w/a datalist.

I need to use complex stored procs for all my updates, so I won't want to update
my data via this list, I'll have an URL item "Update" which would open a new
window for just the selected record to enforce business rule updates.

The lables are obvious, but the fields are not.

Is there an example (link to) of a similar datalist?

TIA

Hey Jeff,

I would have thought that Hierargrid would be the best for that:

Ken,

Thanks that's a cool tool.

For this project though, they need a data view that will be all there at a
glance, no clicking required as well as printing in the same formated layout.

Most of these users are not regularly computer users, so it has to be simple any
extra clicking is out. I know it seems trite but they wouldn't appreciate it.

Doing more research, I was looking for a good example of either some good ascx
templates or inline templates.

I'lll keep looking until I find some....

TIA

Okay.

BTW, since the source code is available, you might be able to rejig it to
bypass the expand/collapse stuff. You could leave it expanded permanently.
