copied!<p>@Geoff</p> <p>That sort of Eval statement was actually added in 2.0, but if performance is important Eval should be avoided since it uses Reflection.</p> <p>The repeater is a pretty good way of doing it, although it might be faster to generate the table in code:</p> <p>ASPX Page:</p> <pre><code><table class="report" id="bookTable" runat="server"> <tr> <th>Published</th> <th>Title</th> <th>Author</th> <th>Price</th> </tr> </table> </code></pre> <p>Code Behind:</p> <pre><code>Protected Sub Page_Load( ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load If Not Page.IsPostback Then BuildTable() End If End Sub Private Sub BuildTable() Dim db As New BookstoreDataContext Dim bookCollection = from b in db.Books _ Order By b.Published _ Select b Dim row As HtmlTableRow Dim cell As HtmlTableCell For Each book As Books In bookCollection row = New HtmlTableRow() cell = New HtmlTableCell With { .InnerText = b.Published.ToShortDateString } row.Controls.Add(cell) cell = New HtmlTableCell With { .InnerText = TryNbsp(HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(b.Title)) } row.Controls.Add(cell) cell = New HtmlTableCell With { .InnerText = TryNbsp(HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(b.Author)) row.Controls.Add(cell) cell = New HtmlTableCell With { .InnerText = Format(b.Price, "c") } row.Controls.Add(cell) bookTable.Controls.Add(row) Next </code></pre> <p>I guess it depends on how important speed is to you. For simplicity's sake I think I would go with the Repeater.</p>
