Hey Everyone!
Hope you guys can help me with this. I am trying to format a datalist with the month name as headers. The issue I am facing is that the code is hiding some of the rows but I am unable to figure out why. The datasource returns 25 records without the ItemDataBound command and when I add the ItemDatabound code I get about 17 records. Basically if the name of the month is the same it should only display once and hide the duplicate month names. Here's what I have so far:
Code:
protected void DataList1_ItemDataB(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
{
string strval = ((Label)(e.Item.FindControl("lblMP"))).Text;
string month = ViewState["DateAdded"] as string;
;
if (month == strval)
{
((Label)(e.Item.FindControl("lblMP"))).Text = "";
e.Item.Visible = false;
}
else
{
month = strval;
ViewState["DateAdded"] = month;
((Label)(e.Item.FindControl("lblMP"))).Text = month;
Panel pnlMonth = (Panel)e.Item.FindControl("pnlMonth");
pnlMonth.Visible = true;
e.Item.Visible = true;
}
}
}
Can someone please help out, thanks.
