First, Can repeater with in a repeater be used? If yes than how I can use nested repeater in following scenario.
<div class="row">
<asp:Repeater ID="rp_Question" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<p class="_100">
<h2 id="h4_Question" runat="server"><%# Eval("question_text") %></h2>
</p>
<p class="left">
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rb_Question" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Text="Option1" Value="1"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="Option2" Value="2"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="Option3" Value="3"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="Option4" Value="4"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
</p>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater
Repeater Binding
rp_Question.DataSource = _question.GetAll();
rp_Question.DataBind();
The options of each question are saved in database, minimum option could be 3 and maximum could be 6. How can I use an other repeater inside rp_Question to repeat options of each question. I want to show out put like this.
Expanding on the answer KateCute gave, you can use the ItemDataBound
event for that.
<asp:Repeater ID="rp_Question" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="rp_Question_ItemDataBound">
And then in code behind.
protected void rp_Question_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
//find the radiobuttonlist with findcontrol and cast back to it's original type
RadioButtonList rb_Question = e.Item.FindControl("rb_Question") as RadioButtonList;
//get the current datarow
DataRowView row = e.Item.DataItem as DataRowView;
//get the id from the datarow object
string questionID = row["question_id"].ToString();
//get the answers from the db with questionID and bind them as listitems just like in the loop below
//just a loop to add some listitems for demo
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
rb_Question.Items.Insert(i, new ListItem("Option " + i.ToString(), i.ToString(), true));
}
}
