    <p>OK I've solved the problem by following instructions in <a href="http://ryanfarley.com/blog/archive/2005/03/11/1886.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> post.</p> <p>Here's my final code - feel free to use it if you ever need to create dynamic controls based on a counter.</p> <p>Also I wouldn't mind feedback on the overall coding style, I always appreciate others' input.</p> <pre><code>protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string xmlValue = "";

    1. COThis GetPostBackControl is a clever idea.

    2. COSide note: in this context, the this instance is equal to the this.Page instance. Thus, you could write "if (!IsPostBack)" or "GetPostBackControl(this)". (Your page inherits from the Page class) ;)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
