    <p>As a workaround for the fact that asp:Checkboxes don't have values, I am attempting to dynamically create the ID's of checkboxes in a DataList so that it inserts the primary keys into the control ID. This is surprisingly difficult.</p> <p>I have placed a PlaceHolder in my DataList ItemTemplate, then in the ItemCreated I create the checkboxes using <code>string.Format("Checkbox{0}", DataBinder(e.Item.DataItem, "ID"))</code>. The problem is that this only works in a non-postback condition, as on postback the DataItem is null. And of course ItemDataBound isn't called on PostBack so that won't work either. </p> <p>I can't seem to find a good way to handle this short of <code>if (IsPostback) dataList.Bind()</code>, which i don't think is a good way to do it.</p> <p>Can anyone provide me with any alternatives here?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Some additional information. I just realized that part of the problem was because I actually have a DataList within a DataList. The reason DataItem is null is because there is no databinding on postback, and the child data is not saved to viewstate. </p> <p>Basically, what i'm doing is <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3078801/how-to-create-category-and-list-in-one-query-with-linq">This</a>, although it's using a DataList rather than Repeater. So, on postback, the Children collection doesn't get set because ItemDataBound isn't called on postback.</p> <p>EDIT2: To clarify, the problem is largely because of the nested datalists. I have to set the datasource of the nested datalist to a collection field of the first datalist's individual rows fields. On postback, there is no databinding, so it doesn't work.</p>

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.
