Removing both table and span tags from asp:DataList

A DataListis rendered with <table> or <span> tags, which I don't want.

I've set RepeatLayout="Flow" but that still gives me spans. I've set RepeaterDirection="Horizontal" but that still give me the tables.

how can i get a simple datalist without all the spans \ tables?

<asp:DataList ID="MyDataList" runat="server" RepeatLayout="Flow" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">
   <ItemTemplate>
     ....
   </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Datalist>

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • Do you need it to be a DataList control at all? You can have full control over the rendered HTML by using a Repeater or even just looping through your objects and manually rendering your output.
