    <p>I've found that the simplest way to do nested repeaters without worrying about databinding events is to just set the DataSource using <code>&lt;%# %&gt;</code> syntax.</p> <p>For example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:Repeater runat="server" id="Departments"&gt; &lt;ItemTemplate&gt; Name: &lt;%# Eval("DeptName") %&gt; Employees: &lt;asp:Repeater runat="server" DataSource='&lt;%# Eval("Employees") %&gt;'&gt; &lt;ItemTemplate&gt;&lt;%# Eval("Name") %&gt;&lt;/ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;SeparatorTemplate&gt;,&lt;/SeparatorTemplate&gt; &lt;/asp:Repeater&gt; &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/asp:Repeater&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is presuming that your Departments class has an Employees property - eg:</p> <pre><code>public class Department { public string DeptName {get; set;} public IEnumerable&lt;Employee&gt; Employees {get; set;} } public class Employee { public string Name {get; set;} } </code></pre> <p>If your outer-repeater object doesn't have a property corresponding to the inner-repeater object you can still use this trick, by adding a method in your code-behind that does the calculation. So your inner repeater might become:</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:Repeater runat="server" DataSource='&lt;%# GetEmployees(Container.DataItem) %&gt;'&gt; </code></pre> <p>and then GetEmployees might look something like:</p> <pre><code>protected IEnumerable&lt;Employee&gt; GetEmployees(object item) { var dept = (Department) item; // then do whatever is necessary to get the employees from dept return employees; } </code></pre>

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.
