Hi all,

Just started working on my second (small) project.. I want to create a page
that will show some Articles and a pictures wich will be retrieved from a
database..

It got it all (add, deleting, uploading articles,...) working expect for
the page that does the displaying. For now created the page just like I
would in asp... So I have created a routine wiche parses the information
form the database and does a response.write(sDetailPage)...

This works ok but now I'm wondering if there is a real dot netty way to
accomplish this? Wich controls should be used and how can I itterate them
on the page?

rgds,

Nico

You want to read up on the DataList and Repeater. If your not doing any
postbacks from your articles, you might as well go with Repeater.

The Repeater control might be a good one.
Then again, if you'd like multiple columns in your layout then the Table
control might be preferable.
