  1. POWhat is the cleanest way to make a dynamic list of buttons in asp.net?
    text
    copied!<p>I want to change this list so that it is dynamically populated: </p> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li id="Tab1" class="selected" runat="server"&gt; &lt;asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" OnClick="LinkButton1_Click"runat="server"&gt; Tab1 Text &lt;/asp:LinkButton&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li id="Tab2" runat="server"&gt; &lt;asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" OnClick="LinkButton2_Click" runat="server"&gt; Tab2 Text &lt;/asp:LinkButton&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li id="Tab3" runat="server"&gt; &lt;asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton3" OnClick="LinkButton3_Click" runat="server"&gt; Tab3 Text &lt;/asp:LinkButton&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>I tried using this code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:ListView ID="ListView_Tabs" OnItemCommand="ListView_ChangeTab" runat="server"&gt; &lt;LayoutTemplate&gt; &lt;div class="tabs"&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server" /&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/LayoutTemplate&gt; &lt;ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;asp:LinkButton Text='&lt;%# Eval("displayName") %&gt;' CommandName='&lt;%# Eval("parameterName") %&gt;' runat="server"/&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/asp:ListView&gt; </code></pre> <p>and populate it in code behind:</p> <pre><code> ListView_Tabs.DataSource = comeClass.GetTabs(); ListView_Tabs.DataBind(); </code></pre> <p>But I don't see any clear way to set class='selected' to the last link I clicked ( or rather the list item that contains the link )</p> <p>So my question is </p> <p><strong>What is the cleanest way to make a dynamic list of buttons in asp.net, or even just in .net?</strong> </p> <p>It doesn't have to be anything like my approach. I'm not even sure using ListView is the best approach to solve this.</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
